In October Bond voted for the $700 billion to bail-out Wall-Street.
Bond stated to NPR that our economy demands this rescue and the American people deserve it…..Money wasn’t a concern for you.

How many phone calls did you receive in October Senator?
What did your friends on Wall-Street do with our grandchildren’s money?

I thought we couldn’t wait for this bill to pass. Now that it has Obummer takes a couple of days off to play pick up basketball with his sycophants in Chicago instead of signing this bill. Obummer lied to us again.

Thank you Senator! This was one of the worse bills passed by Congress since the Alien and Sedition Act.

Re: Obama lied… DUH! Like that doesn’t happen every day?

1. The Republican talking points machine in its’ usual fashion is throwing out the figure $1 Trillion, when the bill as passed is approximately $789 Billion. Of course it was this type of math that caused them in the first place to over-estimate their “stimulus” package of tax cuts for the weathiest 2% “tinkle upon” effect.

2. Senator Bond has a habit not thinking any further for himself than he is told to.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the TRUE cost at $3.27 Trillion.

But let’s suppose the non-partisan CBO is off by 50% … putting the cost at $1.6 Trillion.

Do you think they’re off by 50%?

Bond hasn’t met a drink or break for the already too rich he couldn’t wrap himself around like the far right wing fascist croporatist neocon Brown Shirt weblog echochambering yobbo yapper he is! The guy hasn’t done anything for working people in his life.

Bobz -
The bill as passed and signed is for a specific amount. As to all of the other “hidden” costs being cited by these “conscientious Republicans”, where were they and their concerns when Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld were bruiting their estimates on the cost of the Iraq war? I seem to recall they “low-balled” that “estimate by quite a bit.

However, here is the corollary question which is more difficult to answer, yet needs to be addressed — what would the cost be if nothing was done? How many more $trillion would that be?

When kissing the little grand kiddies good-night, tell them BobZ. says much thanks for their bailing out my retirement.

Thanks to The Teleprompter Jesus they’ll be traveling the road to serfdom their entire lives.

Did Senator Bond take personal credit for what’s in the Stim for Missouri, but vote against it? Just checking.
