[StBernard] Word from Washington: Rep. Melancon Votes to RecoverTaxpayer Dollars Used for Corporate Bonuses

[Westley Annis]

I watched and listened to a retired federal judge the other day say a
lawsuit filed against this action by Congress will succeed even with the
most liberal of federal judges.  He said the bill would be a clear violation
of the Equal Protection Clause because it singles out bonuses only in one
area of the job market.  The fact that the bill only targets TARP money
funded bonuses makes no difference because there were no stipulations
pointed out in the contract between the feds and AIG.  It also violates the
Constitution on grounds of excessive taxation (without representation).
Wasn't that the motto of our founding fathers?

I agree with Glenn Beck on this...just about every member of Congress looks
bad on this because either (A) they are lying to us all when they say they
didn't know this was part of the agreement our "Tax Cheat" Treasury
Secretary worked out with AIG - which means members of Congress DID NOT READ
IT when they lead us on that they did, or (B) they are all a bunch of
incompetent idiots.

So, which are they..A  or  B ?  And hell, which is worse?

The solution...as Dave Ramsey says all the time on his radio show...Term
Limits, Term Limits, Term Limits, Term Limits, Term Limits.
