The House Republicans were double crossed.
They agreed to deliver 50% and the Dems agreed to vote with them.
Pelosi broke the agreement by saying the blame was all at the Republican's feet, Bush's feet and because of capitalism.
This changed the spirit of the agreement to vote together.
It was clear to them she was going to use this as a club against Republicans.
Given time, our congress persons can find our capitalism system solves its own problems. Democrat Rep. Peter DeFazio has looked into and has found ways to get capitalism back to work.
Capitalism is the best system all through history and all other countries.
All week the Pelosi posse has slammed Bush and the House Republicans. I wonder how they could take it until I learnt this is the way she was before the country, then came into the house to work together in a non-partisan way.
She must have forgot where she was.
Pelosi agreed to include some of their hard-fought items. For this, they relunctly said they will deliver 50%.
But the bargin did not include:
1. Making it look like they were the ones who wanted the bill, even though they did not.
2. Making it look like the Dems were the ones who were against this bill.
3. She gave permission to all democrats from swing states to vote no.
4. She allow those on committees to vote no. She even went to them and told them so in front of the republicans.
Just before the vote finished, it was reported that Obama was against it.
Obama and the Dems wanted to have this both ways -- one for the country and the other to hang blame over the republicans.
It always seems like the Dems are given a pass to act in a partisan way without any shame.
I ask people who thought that once again the House Republicans had to take it, then view the videos of the TV conferences. The Pelosi posse kept slamming, taking no responsibility. The Republicans would say we all have blame to go around. Then, say this bill is getting better for the country.
I watched the C-Span final debate. I saw Republican members say they don't like this bill, but for some good items that they were able to get into bill, then they were going to vote yes. To me, this is not a ring endorsement. In this case, Pelosi unhinged is more than enough.
Capitalism had its arms tied behind it with the FM/FM. And, Pelosi blames capitalism.
Change rules, give insurance, etc. to help capitalism help itself.
All the money will add liquity only a few months. Throw money or kicking the can down the road will eventually meet up with you.
I'm always amazed at how the Dems are so worred about our children and don't care that they are taking their future from them.
Capitalism beats any alternative.
