Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

Today in the House of Representatives (the voice of the people) voted down a bailout (or buyin) bill that would have placed the risk of toxic debt upon the shoulders of the American people. The people have been brow beaten and declared 'idiots unable to understand what is happening'. I don't know how many real people I have talked to that have said 'let it collapse' they've seen on live TV and read online and in the newspapers that this could cause a crunch in credit and possibly a depression. The president came on TV and said that this could cause a 'deep recession'. We saw it they told us it was going to happen and the people said so be it. The people have chosen freedom over bread.
