Another No-Constituency Issue

The Post has an article today talking about how they found 1 person in a survey of residents in Prince William County in favor of the bail-out. Just like the telcom immunity issue, this is one where the public is uniformly opposed, and the only people in favor are those who stand to benefit. Just substitute banks and other investment institutions for telcom companies and you have the constituency for this bill.

I'm just sick and tired of the consequences of mistakes never visiting upon those who made them. Iraq war soldiers, Iraqi civilians for that matter, people who bought homes they could afford, and all the other vast categories of people are the people who have paid and are paying the price for the government's mistakes, the banks bad investments, unjustified ars, etc.
