800 Billion Dollars Later - You Got The Shaft - Unless You Manufacture Wooden Arrows

So you think the 800 Billion dollar "rescue" bill was good? So ya think it would have been financial armegeddon if the Senate didn't pass the bill? Well...I reckon' those lucky manufacturers of wooden arrows might agree. This is but a mere smidgin' of the vital importance of this bill. So glad these guys got it all ironed out! MORONS! No wonder Nancy Pelosi turns out the lights and bans the cameras from time to time. If the average middle class American making $30-$50,000 dollars per year were to be in the room with these lawmakers when they are actually sitting around having serious discussion on how to word the legistature...THERE WOULD BE A CONGRESSIONAL MASSACRE! We are the REAL MORONS HOWEVER...we actually VOTE FOR these idiots and put them in this place. Following: A Section of the 800 Billion Dollar Rescue Bill...read it and weep! 20 SEC. 503.
