Ridiculous bill

To the editor:

Congratulations should be proffered to Kansas Reps. Moran, Boyda and Tiahrt and Sens. Brownback and Roberts for not being fooled into voting for this ridiculous Wall Street buyout bill (HR 1424.)

Handing as much as $700 billion to former Wall Street insider Henry Paulson in an implausible effort to “shore up” our economy is tantamount to putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.

Hold on to your pocketbooks, folks. The Bush administration may very well have saved their greatest boondoggle for the waning days of eight years of galactic ineptitude.
