On October 1st, 2008 the United States Senate passed the "Bailout" bill 74 to 25.

Congressman Brad Sherman has published a comprehensive article on the problems that remain with this bill. In this publication, the Congressman points out two crucial points:

• Taxpayers highly unlikely to recoup any of the costs under revenue provision added ... (page 2)
• Tens of billions will go to foreign investors (page 3)

Reading the first three pages of this seven page document is all that is required to get the blood of any American boiling.

It is amazing how this "bailout" bill can be used as a means to literally transfer American wealth (whatever that is left of it) to foreign nations.
