Ron Paul Explaining Events on House Floor

After the House of Representatives rubberstamped a $15 billion bailout package for Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler in a 237-170 mostly party line vote, bailout proceedings croaked in the Senate last night.

See Ron Paul tear the bailout’s mask off during a speech on the House floor on Wednesday and expose it for what it really is. (See video at the top of the page)
While some Senators’ motives for voting down a cloture motion on the Senate floor weren’t as honorable as we could have hoped, public opposition still led a majority of Senate Republicans to refuse consideration of the corporate socialist boondoggle.

But don’t expect The Big Three and the United Automotive Workers union to just give up.

Now they’re pressuring the White House to cut them big slices of the Treasury’s $700 billion taxpayer pizza – and don’t forget the $50 billion in grants they still want from the Department of Energy.

In liberty,

John Tate
President, Campaign for Liberty
