I’m throwing my support behind Dave Ramsey’s suggested plan to fix this mess. I’d love to blog more on this, but I’ve got no time! I must spend it calling my congressmen. (I can’t just email, apparently Americans have already overwhelmed the congressional email servers to the point of a crash!) In the meantime, you should all read his plan and take the steps to let your congressmen know! Right now Dave’s site is being slammed and running slow, so here’s a download of the plan in PDF form.
This isn’t a bailout, and it doesn’t reward recklessness by letting Wall Street line their pockets with tax payer money. Read it for yourself, and feel free to discuss it here.
And a poll for fun!
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.UPDATE: Good luck even getting the House or Senate website to load. They’re being slammed as well. And once you even get the House website to load, you see this. Apparently there are a lot of people upset about this proposed (and currently the one-time failed) $700 billion bailout.
UPDATE II: I was able to get through to the Senate’s site, and I found the numbers for my Senators. For my fellow Tennesseans, I provide their numbers. Call them and leave a message. No need to be too verbose, they only count calls in aggregate, so just voice your rejection of the $700 billion bailout and your support for Dave Ramsey’s plan. Mention, as well, that if they vote again for the bailout and not in support of a more sensible plan, they will lose your vote in the fall. And I mean it. If Alexander or Corker vote again in support of the bailout, I’ll be voting for their Democrat challenger.
Lamar Alexander (R-TN): (202) 224-4944
Bob Corker (R-TN): (202) 224-3344
