We are so screwed. Not just conservatives, but all of us. The Senate passed a pork laden bail-out yesterday. The House passed a bail-out today. Now all that remains is to resolve the differences and President Bush will sign whatever abomination results.

[Update: The abomination is already signed. We really are screwed.]

Ironically, on the news, prices on Wall Street spiked — for a moment. They’re tanking again, as if this bail-out won’t do any good for them anyway. It won’t, and maybe a few investors have figured it out.

Our mortgages will be nationalized. Our government’s power over our lives will grow even more, and without bounds. Our national debt will continue to rise. So will inflation and our taxes.

John McCain is promising to bring Al Gore back to negotiate Kyoto-like treaties. We’re going to kill our economy trying to fight global warming — in the middle of a cooling trend, no matter who wins.
