I can understand this…

This was a terrible bill. To take just a few particulars, why is there no reform of the government interventions that got us to this point in the first place? Why aren’t Fannie and Freddie being wound down — even after we’ve now had to make explicit the implicit, disastrous government guarantee? Why is Pelosi saying (as I noted in an earlier post) that the authority in the bill will allow the Treasury Department (perhaps soon an Obama Treasury Department) to take bad debt off the hands of mismanaged state and local governments?
Some would say that a bad bill would be better than no bill at all. I disagree. I believe that it is better to have a bill that works for the American people and does not bailout Wall Street and screw the American people and the small businesses over.
So, for once, I agree with something written over at the NRO. Mark this on your calendar, because it does not happen often. 😉
