Does it just tick you off, or does it inspire you to get involved?
My friend rants over here http://wheresmyhead.com/story/i_didnt_think_i_could_despise_politicians_any_more_than_i_already_did about the $700B bailout that just became law. I haven’t decided for me if such things just tick me off, or whether it inspires me to join their ranks with the modest (and probably naive) hopes of improving things. How do YOU react?
Comments:
This issue certainly has the potential of affecting my vote in November as a particular Senator who’s up for re-election was a strong proponent of this plan. I doubt I’ll go as far as grabbing a pitchfork and a torch but I won’t rule that out for the future, either.
I have not done the research as to who voted which way.
Also, I am still undecided both on this issue and on the Presidential race as well.
Thus far, I am reacting to what I learn. It makes me want to learn less and at the same time makes me want to learn more.
In principle, I see how the $700B is aimed to work. However, I don’t see where the money is going to come from, and that disturbs me. Also, I have no confidence in the government, so I fully expect the money to be used differently than how it has been proposed.
