“It’s especially disconcerting to see the very people who pilloried me during the Presidential campaign for being a ‘populist’ and not ‘understanding Wall Street’ to now line up like thirsty dogs at the Washington, D. C. water dish, otherwise known as Congress, and plead for help. I thought these guys were the smartest people in America! I thought that taxpayers like you and I were similar to the people at the U. N. who have no translator speaking into their headset – that we just needed to trust those that I called the power bunch in the ‘Wall Street to Washington axis of power.’

The idea of a government bailout in which we’d entrust $700 billion to one man without Congressional oversight or accountability is absurd. My party or not, that is insanity and I believe unconstitutional.”
