Why is the money not going to the people? It proves that this is a government of, by and for the industries, but it should and MUST be of, by and for the PEOPLE!!

I intend to support electoral reform as the fundamental route to get America back.

How nice for Fannie and Freddie that help was forthcoming in the form of a taxpayer-financed buy-out. Guess those millions they've poured into lobbying and campaign contributions through the years have paid off. Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:04:57 +0000
