It's interesting how this administration thinks,spend,spend,spend.

I wonder if that's how I could handle my money matters. If I spend and I don't have the money to cover my debts will the spending like our administration is doing, will that clear my debts and make me finacally secure. Oh well, I guess common sense isn't what is use to be,and I'll believe it when it works for me. ya right.

Thank you Senator Thune. Don't give up on this we're all pulling for you on this issue. We can only hope we all wake up by 2010.

This is great. And on the heels of the Grayson-Paul bill making its way through the House Fin'l. Services Committee to boot.

The TARP to cover the sins of the financial industry did anything but. $700Bn committed and most of it is still outstanding, Chrysler and GM's part won't get paid back, and here we sit with 10.2% unemployment and a currency that will be showing up in your grocery store under the Charmin brand.

Hank, Tim, and Ben I have to hand it to you: if it wasn't so tragic and if there wasn't so much at stake, I'd laugh at you three stooges.

But sadly, it is what it is – a total tragedy – and there's an incredible amount at stake.

This sounds like a great idea-but what's wrong with this picture? No one talks about doing anything that makes sense anymore in our government. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop….This would be just the beginning and then we could build from there. We're way overdue to take our country back from the politicians we elected to do our "bidding". They've all become too big for their britches. And, don't want to leave out a health care comment – I'll sign up for the health care reform myself, right after all our Senators sign up for it, first! Why should they get a much better health care package than we get and then we get no say so when it comes to our health care? We can't even say NO…

I"m saying NO to all of it. Let's go back to basics, vote someone in who is honest and has character, like Reagan or Palin. Why hasn't anyone called for an impeachment for false campaign promises, lying, you name it? We need to take our country back before it's too late.

Hope some expert reads this and responds—What would it take to add to the 2010 ballot an absolute 'recall' of Obama and Biden–to be replaced by write-in names by voters?

We know we can't allow poor old demented Pelosi to gain any more status than she already has— so if write-ins were elected by popular vote–would that help fix things?

It really dosen't matter if voters wrote in the name of their golden retrievers or whoever–anyone would be a 100% improvement over who is runnin' things now?

Given the number of months between now and the 2010 elections a few good names might come forward

for voters to seriously consider.

If the TARP money is being used to buy votes then I would'nt expect this den of theives to seperate themselves from their plunder. The exception being a last desperate act to save themselves assuming they can grasp the concept in spite of their blind evil.

We need to demand term limits and limits on campaign contributions.

TARP became a tool of the far left foster to their agenda of Gov't control. Accountability was non-existent and Congressional oversight was lost when responsibility was bestowed upon the Treasury. Bless Senator Thune. It is time for TARP to expire.

We were so happy to vote John Thune in and to see Tom Dascle go when we lived in SD. He is a man with a real burden for the people and I hope the rest of his party will take note of his bold but needed move to end some of the ridiculous spending DC is doing. Thanks Mr. Thune and those who support this bill.
