Evasions, half-truths and lies Bush demands passage of Wall Street bailout

These paragraphs from the same wsws article above tell alot about the effectiveness of bailing out bungling billionaires, they'll just do it again;


"As for how this desperate situation had developed, Bush made some perfunctory remarks about the housing crisis, followed by vague references to bad decisions, irresponsible actions by a few unnamed individuals, and excesses on Wall Street.

But he could not explain how the handover of more than $700 billion in taxpayer money to the banks and investment firms will resolve the crisis.

In fact, his bailout plan is a naked attempt by the most powerful sections of the American ruling class to exploit a crisis of their own making to further enrich themselves, while imposing the burden on the working class of the United States and the entire world."


Here's a question for GW Bush regime and the bail out bunch in DC;

If your friend or relative were addicted to heroin, would you supply them with 700 fully loaded bags of smack (slang for heroin) to bail them out of their addiction?

Then why, pray tell, would you grant 700 billion dollars to billionaire banker CEOs whom you yourself have said were "irresponsible" and engaging in "excesses on Wall Street". Think they won't do it again? Think that an addiction to money, greed and power is any different than addiction to drugs like heroin??

Whatever happened to the conservative's concept of "personal responsibility"? Or do banking CEOs and others in the billionaire club get to opt out of the "personal responsibility" clause and qualify for taxpayer bailouts anytime they make choices based upon their greed without considering anyone else besides themselves??

What about fellow Republican John McCain ducking out of the upcoming debate with Obama? How about taking some responsibility for the domestic policy failures of the Republican Party??
