Business hits back after Congress bailout vote
By Kevin Drawbaugh
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Business lobbyists scolded the U.S. Congress and threatened political payback after lawmakers handed the financial services industry a stunning defeat by killing a $700-billion Wall Street bailout.
The vote Monday in the House of Representatives to reject the rescue plan, proposed by the Bush administration September 20 and modified by congressional leaders over the past week, came as a rude shock to powerful and deeply entrenched interests.
Major banks and executives from the financial sector overall donate heavily to political campaigns and spend a lot of money on government lobbying to push their agenda.
The titans of high finance don’t always get their way on Capitol Hill, but the 228-205 House vote was unexpected and drew a flurry of private sector counter-punches.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation’s largest business lobbying group and a vocal bailout proponent, responded quickly after the vote with a letter to all members of Congress.
“Make no mistake: when the aftermath of congressional inaction becomes clear, Americans will not tolerate those who stood by and let the calamity happen,” said the letter, urging reconsideration and passage of “financial rescue legislation.”
“The chamber will score votes on, or in relation to, this issue in our annual ‘How They Voted’ scorecard,” it said.
House members who supported the bailout have received about 50 percent more in campaign contributions from the finance, insurance and real estate sectors in their congressional careers than those who opposed the emergency legislation, said a campaign finance watchdog group after the vote.
The Center for Responsive Politics, using data going back to 1989, said members of Congress who helped defeat the bailout had, on average, collected nearly $590,000 from the industries most affected over their careers, while the bailout bill’s supporters had received $883,000.

Hi,
I know you and the rest of the feckless appaRATchicks in washingtOOn are busy trying to sell the Brooklyn Bridge of a corpoRATe bailout plan to us sucker taxpayers. But it would be really keen if you stopped for a second and understood that “debates” which include only the co-joined twins of the apocalypse called mcbama will amount to nothing more then the left ass cheek telling the right ass cheek that it smells bad.
After all, there is this thing called democratic process! I understand how inconvenient and annoying it can be for you in the CENSORSHIP industry, but some of us are really old fashioned and set in our ways.
We believe THAT ALL THE CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT FOR ELECTION should be included in the debates.
This is not a request, but a demand!
I hope your 401k goes bust in the stock market crash…
I really do hope all the feckless appaRATchiks in washingtOOn lose their 401k’s in the market crash!

Well soon will be the flatulence that will be mesured in earthquake scale nail your pictures to the wall when the next level of BCI devices come out and mine their sculls.
