Letter to The People


The County Election by George Caleb Bingham

People, do not be swayed by the politicians who are currently claiming to be on your side by bloviating about not passing the Paulson plan; they are not on your side, they are just running for re-election. These same politicians, now spouting the wonders of the free market[1] and how we should let it take care of our[2] financial crisis, were not only asleep at the wheel when it all started unraveling, but were instrumental in loosening the oversight conditions that might have helped us avoid this situation in the first place. And they did so by advocating for the same free market conditions they are pushing for now. Educate yourselves and throw the bums out.

[1] which does indeed have wonders; this not being one of those times in which one can marvel at them.
[2] and don’t be fooled into thinking this is not “our” financial crisis- read my “letter to the Congress”.
