The Arrogance of Power

In case you missed it, here’s video of Alan Grayson, D-Orlando showing just what arrogance and ignorance looks like:

As you may recall,  TARP turned over all power to solve the financial problems to the Secretary of the Treasury.  When the Secretary didn’t do what Congress thought he would do, Congress (Barney Frank) came unglued, even though they gave him carte blanche.

As you may recall, the “stimulus bill” , with Chris Dodd’s help, allowed the bonuses that the AIG executives got.  This idiot voted for that bill.  He voted to allow those executives to keep that money.  Much as I may not like it, they were entitled to that money (many of them worked for $1 a year and those bonuses were their only compensation). THIS IDIOT VOTED FOR IT!

So this idiot wants to give the Treasury secretary carte blanche to determine what is too much to pay people who work for companies that took TARP.

He’s willing to “trust” that the Secretary only means that people won’t be getting huge bonuses, but did he put any guarantees in the bill?   NO!

I don’t know what surprises me more, his intolerance of his responsbility to the American People, his arrogance in his response to legitimate questions aboput that bill, or his ognorance of the real puropose of his office.

These are the people driving this country.  God help us.,
