Wamp...

Now I have disagreed with almost all of Wamp's time in office (nothing personal, I just disagree with his views) but when I saw that he had voted against the bailout, not just a moniker but a DESCRIPTION, I was forced to admit agreement. I still don't know if I would vote for him, but at least he is showing allegiance to his town & their feelings.
The bail out will probably still happen but if by rejecting it in its current state maybe we can get a plan that actually forces some responsibility and accountability by the banks & corporations. Key points with according to local polls, letters, editorials, & ....; require some reimbursement from the recipients, limit CEO compensation, tax any windfall profits, and most importantly show the taxpayers how this bailout helps them. No generalizations & cut the fear mongering panic inducing rhetoric. Piss on you Mr Alexander, the most irresponsible thing you could say was we would not being able to cash paychecks. This kind of idiocy is the crap that causes runs on banks, gas and other essentials. Instead of crying wolf you should be encouraging voters to stay calm and to save/spend/invest as prudent. This will allow markets to adjust themselves accordingly and minimize any potential panic. The world is not on the brink of failure, with responsible stewardship there is no reason that the average taxpayer should be stricken by this situation.
