I don't write diaries very often, but I hope you will take the time to read this because it is important.
Like many Kossacks, I have been following the unfolding economic mess with a mix of anger and disbelief. The Bush administration is using shock and awe political tactics one week before Congress adjourns to push through a bailout package that will give hard-working Americans the shaft and allow the modern day Robber Barons of Wall Street to walk away unscathed.
Let me be very clear: if you follow the money trail, it becomes quite obvious that Democrats in the House and Senate will cave on this issue. We may very well lose the election as a result. I am not a doomsayer, nor do I believe that it is too late to avert such an outcome, but it is worth bringing a few facts to light.
