Kucinich: "Why? Why? Why?"

By Ryan Grim

(The Politico)  Speaking against the bailout on the floor just now, former presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich i(D-OH) invoked FDR and slammed the "cold calculations of the Dow Jones ticker."

“Some people will ask of this Congress, what were we thinking? Why did we give $700 billion bailout to Wall Street without fixing what caused the problem in the first place? Why did we rig the free markets for security fraudsters? Why didn’t we explore alternatives to let Wall Street solve its own problems? Why didn’t we have money save millions of homeowners, create millions of jobs, and a green economy? Why didn’t we stop the speculators? Why wasn’t there accountability? Why didn’t we take time to make an intelligent decision?

“Why? Why? Why?”
