I think the senate is unclear on the concept of why the House bailout was rejected, at least by the House Republicans and the vast majority of the American people.  It isn’t that we don’t want the problems fixed, it is that we don’t want to pay for the mistakes and greed of Congress coupled with Wall Street.

Make no mistake, we know who’s fault this is (well, at least some of us do).  And the Senate version of the bailout does not address the problem, it confirms and extends it.  The same essential bill is being offered, but with more pork.  I am disappointed in John McCain for supporting this bill.  It won’t help his election campaign, and it violates his stated principles about pork and waste.

Earmarks, pay for play, and lobbying got us into this mess, made it worse, and are not going to solve it for us.
