Check out Jed Lewison’s post about John McCain urging the Bush administration to simply skip the Congressional approval on the infamous bailout bill. Not sure what I think about the bill itself, as there are a lot of interesting questions being raised now as to how necessary it actually is, but it’s definitely scary for a presidential candidate to be advocating the skipping of processes designed to protect ordinary people. This bailout would only be as good as the controls put on it to avoid more irresponsibility on Wall Street with tax payers’ money, so to skip this process is in my mind pretty foolhardy, no matter how important the bailout may seem.
