Grayson Not Happy About Bailout

They aren't happy.

String 'em up.

In the last two days, the U.S. stock market has gone up by $1 trillion. That's because of a $700 billion direct transfer from taxpayers to financial corporations like AIG and, I guess, the expectation that another $300 billion will find its way into the deal before it's over. So tax dollars are being used to prop up the stock market, something that never happened even in the deepest depths of the Great Depression. It's corporate communism. That's the context.

Here is more context. $700 billion is over $2000 for every man, woman and child in America. For a family of seven, like mine, it's over $15,000. Someone just took $15,000 from me and my family, and gave it to anonymous bondholders whom I've never met, who have done nothing for me, to whom I owe nothing and -- right now -- I really don't like.

More context: you could take one percent of that amount -- one percent! -- and pay off the delinquency on every home mortgage in arrears in America. And keep people from losing their homes. But ordinary people get nothing from this Administration except grief.

Great News for Grayson

He leads Keller by 4 points (although this is within the margin of error). Grayson is a great candidate and is someone we definitely want in Congress. Keller, on the other hand, is someone we don't even want in Florida, much less representing us in D.C.

The Orlando Sentinel, predictably, gets in a little dig at Grayson with the implied "elitism" of mentioning that he's "wealthy."
