Video: Jim DeMint on the Bailout

Friday, December 12, 2008 8:08 AM Add to Facebook Add to Twitter

Sen. Jim DeMint cut a great new video against the auto bailout yesterday. His bottom line:

"This is a business problem, and it cannot be solved with a political solution. Congress can't manage the auto industry, when it doesn't even know how to manage itself. Instead of using your tax dollars to prop up a failing business structure, it is time for these companies to restructure so they can be competitive for years to come."

Thankfully, enough senators joined Sen. DeMint (R-SC) in derailing the auto bailout yesterday, in spite of Sen. Barbara Boxer's (D-CA) plea to pass the bailout because, well, you know, "... this is the Christmas season!"

Congrats to the senators who held the line and stood up for taxpayers!

How about stopping the collection of ALL federal taxes for three months and let the people use their money the way THEY want to? Let us see what WE can do w/o any politicians' involvement. It sure the heck can't hurt!!!
