What part of Representative don't they understand?

The lawmakers who listened to the people they represent by not voting for the bailout are being called the vulnerable members who want to keep their jobs. Isn't that what they are there for? To represent the wants of the people? Who ever had the job to sell the American public on this bill had the sales ability of a slug! In a time of panic and uncertainty who calls it a "BAIL OUT"? They could have sold it to us (and educated us )as it being an investment by the American people to stand behind a Government letting their tax dollars work for correction and seeing it as a patriotic investment . Hey, spin is not bad if it is the truth and gets what is needed.
I must say too that this is a moral issue. It is time to examine and reflect on the reasons why we got here. Credit card companies were offering credit to 18 year old college freshmen!! geez. Gluttony and greed. Everyone IS a Jones so who do we keep up to now?
Settle back. Think. Money DOES NOT buy happiness. The "newness" of anything purchase wears off and all you have left is the monthly payment. Use cash in as many transactions as you can! Paper money is tangible ,credit is intangible.
