Economic Terrorism: Bush's Wall Street Bailout is the Patriot Act II

by Sandy Sand

Congress, don’t make the same mistake twice.

Fool the fools in Congress once…

My greatest fear is that Congress -- in a panic to do “something,” and anxious to go on the campaign trail -- will pass Bush’s bailout bill as written it.

Giving control to one entity with absolute rule and no oversight whatsoever is the death knell for American business and the economy.

We don’t need another Patriot Act, where Congress did the same thing.

In their same anxiety and panic to do “something” after 9/11, they took their first collective step in helping the administration destroy the constitution.

They not only did nothing to protect us from acts of terrorism, but they made it too easy for our own government to terrorize us.

Now the administration is using economic terrorism to force Congress to pass hasty and ill-advised legislation that like the Patriot Act, will be irreversible.
