So Much for Democracy
Nice to know that even though the auto-bailout bill died in the Senate, President Bush may bail the Big Three out anyway using the TARP money. Reportedly, the Fed itself could come to the rescue. Isn't democracy grand?
Ain't that the truth? I fail to see why we even have a Congress. It has become totally irrelevant having surrendered all to the Executive.
