King Paulson

The three page document submitted to Congress - you know, the one that's supposed to save our asses from financial collapse - wait, that already happened to me, they must be saving some rich SOB now because that hand certainly wasn't there when I needed it, but I digress.

Anyway that three page document contains a paragraph that EVERY American should be aware of - young, old, voters, non-voters (you know who you are 60+% of the country). Why do we need to be aware of it? Because it WILL change the future of this country forever and it reads:

"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."

All power to someone that has NOT been voted in, does not necessarily have our best interest at heart, has absolutely no accountability to anyone. Hey I have a good Idea, let's give him $700,000,000.00 and tell him we'll look the other way if he'll save us!

OK boys and girls it's time to speak out and speak up about this - this is a case of Chaos Economics. The theory is you create an event so massive that it detracts from the normal thought patterns of legislators and civilians alike, making them say OK, SURE, YOU BETCHA' to the most inane crap and before you know it you've given over to a new system of power. Iraq and a privatized militiary come to mind (Blackwater).

Take a few moments, blog, contact your representatives, congress men/woman, send e-mails but let them know we are Americans, we've thrown out one king and we'll damned sure do it again.

NO to Absolute Power without oversight (or even with oversight for that matter!)
