Uproar Ignored

Well, it appears that both of Maine's senators decided to ignore the uproar from their constituents - and from around the country, and chose to vote for the PORK bill that will cost our kids their future, and will ultimately drive the antique/classic car hobby into extinction, unless it gets stripped from the bill, permanently. Pelosi and Frank have both sworn not to remove anything except tax cuts, and to PUT BACK most of what has already been stripped out. Now THERE'S bipartisanship for ya. Never has there been such a massive transfer of wealth to the government, and never has government grown by so much in so little time. Today, Chuck Schumer (D) stated, "Americans don't CARE about the PORK in this bill."

Sorry, Schumer - it's MY money, and I DO care.

Pelosi, Reid and Obama said the stock market would LOVE this bill. Though the bill passed the Senate today, the market dropped nearly 400 points. I don't think the investors like this one little bit! And I do not think Pelosi, Reid and Obama understand the first thing about economics. Having a degree in economics, I know at least a little about it - enough to know this bill will not make things better in the short run, and will do our country great harm in the long run. Look for inflation coming in the next couple years, folks! PREPARE for it, if you can. Why? Because no one has that much money to loan us. So, we have to PRINT it, which dilutes the value of every penny. Hence, inflation is pretty much guaranteed.

Still, Snowe and Collins both voted for it, which is the ONLY reason it passed in the Senate. Of all Republicans, only THREE voted for this monstrosity that will do little, if anything, to stimulate the economy - the only thing I see being stimulated are the pigs rushing to the public trough. And two of those three come from Maine. They may not be aware of it, but their action has just made our state a pariah in the eyes of the nation. Internet boards are rife with comments about "the traitors in Maine". And those comments are coming from both parties.

Collins and Snowe should be put on warning, here and now. I will do everything in my power to unseat those RiNO's in the next election when their seats are on the block. And I will do everything in my power to promote ANY candidate, regardless of party, that runs against them. In a state like Maine, where 200 votes can mean the difference between winning and losing, Collins and Snowe should spend the next couple of years brushing up their resumes.

It is time the power hungry self-serving slobs in Washington learn that they cannot continue "business as usual", when business as usual means ignoring the will of the people, or the best interests of our nation.
