You know… I was going to have a poison-free day with as little negativity as possible.  I was going to smile and rejoice at my newly-found emotional peace.  And then I saw this. 

In the dark of night over the weekend when most people were snoozing, the Treasury dramatically expanded its bailout plan to include buying student loans, car loans, credit card debt and any other “troubled” assets held by banks.

The changes, which were included in draft language that also opened the bailout program to foreign banks with extensive loan operations in the United States, potentially added tens of billions of dollars to the cost of the program.

Although it was a major addition to what was already the nation’s largest-ever bailout, it did not become part of the debate between Democrats and the Treasury over details of the program. A Monday counterproposal by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd included such consumer loans as well as mortgages, just as the Treasury’s draft did Saturday night.

Now I’m pissed.  Beyond pissed.  Now I’m wondering how the Congressleeches are going to justify this massive pile of fetid dinosaur dung to their constituents just five weeks before the elections.  And I’m wondering why neither candidate – especially the one who claims to be such the farkin’ “maverick” who supposedly opposes irresponsible use of taxpayer dollars – is speaking out against this! Made shitty financial decisions to give out loans to bums, illegal aliens, part-time shoe-shine boys, and the odd llama that escaped from the zoo without consideration to whether they can repay you?  Not to worry!  Your government will ensure that you never have to face the consequences of your bad decisions.  It will steal money from the taxpayers and pay you at least $400,000, if the “Maverick” has his way, as a reward for running your company into the ground!

It seems our illustrious “leaders” think that everyone else’s spending habits are somehow our problem!

Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. stressed that the additions were needed to ensure that student loans and credit cards – which have become indispensable to the spending habits and career plans of many Americans – do not become victims of the widening credit crunch.

I’m going to take a deep breath here, and try to calm down, because if I don’t, I fear an embolism is near! 

OK, nope!  That’s just not working!

LISTEN YOU BLOATED MARXIST ASSBAG!  CREDIT IS NOT A CIVIL RIGHT!  It is a privilege contingent upon the lender’s willingness to allow you access to HIS property, based on his assessment of your fucking ability to pay him back!  I don’t give a flying rat’s ass about what the spending habits of Americans are!  Their spending habits and their lack of responsibility is NOT MY GODDAMN PROBLEM!  Nor is it my obligation to give up my EARNINGS to rescue those who were too stupid, lazy, irresponsible or simply negligent in their financial planning!  The fiscal failure of banks, individuals, foreign entities or anyone else is not a claim check to my earnings! 

Guess what, you subretarded shitslurper!  I’ve HAD IT!  I’ve had it with your demands that I be forced at the point of a gun (and under the threat of prison) to give up what I’ve earned to prop up those who haven’t earned it, couldn’t hope to match it and have made financial decisions so crappy, that even the vagrants in cardboard boxes are shaking their shaggy, unwashed heads in disbelief!  I’ve had it with your whining about the “common good” and the “necessity” of imposing an evil, anti-justice, anti-achievement, anti-progress and anti-HUMAN ideology on me. 

Socialism is evil.  It’s not necessary.  It’s just evil.  And so are those who espouse it in the name of “necessity.”  It takes away from the producers and redistributes to the rotten, lazy and irresponsible.  It takes achievement, innovation, hard work, and progress and slaps it down to the level of mindless repetition and brainless drudgery.  It punishes achievement and responsibility and rewards sloth and stupidity.  There is NOTHING good about it.

Paulson, there is no difference between you and a common thief who holds me up at gunpoint and claims he’ll use the money he steals to help his street pals.  No difference save this:  the thief doesn’t ask Congress (and by extension me) to legitimize his actions.  You, on the other hand, are much more evil and disgusting than the common street crook, because you are asking those in power to legitimize your theft and are trying to pass it off as something that will benefit everyone, when the ONLY ones who will benefit are you and your corrupt pals!

Readers — Do you guys remember when the people of this country shut down the illegal alien amnesty travesty last year by nearly crashing the Senate’s phone system several times with calls?

I think it’s time to do it again!

This thing needs to die.  Now.

UPDATE ZEE FIRST:  I have contacted both Senators and my Congressman.  Have you?

UPDATE ZEE SECOND:  Free market solutions do exist.

UPDATE YET ANOTHER:  Speaking of bailouts… McSwine and the Anointed One have both endorsed the automakers’ bailout, selling out the taxpayers for votes in Michigan and Ohio.  Tell me again how either one of these nimrods is the lesser of the two evils?

Michigan lawmakers hailed the imminent passage of $25 billion in loans for the U.S. auto industry on Wednesday as a key step toward saving thousands of jobs in the state, and vowed to press for an additional $25 billion to boost the industry’s retooling.

Under the bill expected to pass the House this evening, the Bush administration will have two months to write the rules for the loans, and Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow said she expected the money to begin flowing to automakers and parts suppliers by the end of the year.
