Mayor Barletta's Taking Another Non-Position Position
With the upcoming election getting closer and closer, and the stakes for the American people getting larger and larger, Mayor Lou Barletta is showing less and less intelligence and worse and worse leadership. This is a trend that has come to exemplify Barletta. Rather than take real stands on real issues, Barletta attempts to use clever soundbytes and press releases to trick voters into thinking that he is taking a stand on an issue. In almost every case, on every issue, Lou Barletta has failed to show any real leadership.
That trend continues with the Bailout Package that Congress is considering. Barletta has come out against that package and has offered one of his most idiotic ramblings to date as an explanation for his position. In a recent press release, Barletta explained his opposition to the Bailout Package like this…
“Congress is about to reward financial institutions that think nothing of charging citizens exorbitant penalties for late payments, increasing interest rates for individuals with poor credit, and foreclosing on homes. Those institutions would receive a get-out-of-jail free card with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. These financial institutions are getting far better treatment than they give to their consumers.”
Nothing in that statement means anything. There are many good, logical reasons to be either for or against the Bailout Package. Not wanting to offer financial assistance to banks because they “raise interest rates for individuals with poor credit” or “foreclose on homes” is not one of them. Is Mr. Barletta now supporting the idea that banks begin issuing money to whomever asks for it, in whatever denominations they ask? Or is he suggesting that Congress simply allow the financial crisis to continue to spread, wiping out BILLIONS in investor savings in the process? It’s not exactly clear.
Barletta’s statement goes on to read…
“If we are going to fix this problem, we need to give Wall Street more of a workout than a bailout. Congress needs to do more to hold these companies accountable and to learn why they failed to stop the crisis.”
Again, I’m not exactly sure what Barletta means with this statement. What does “more of a workout than a bailout” mean? How will Congress hold these companies accountable if many of them are days or weeks away from bankruptcy? Barletta offers no insight into these questions. This is, I believe, a result of Lou Barletta suffering from an above average level of stupidity, inexperience, and ignorance. Barletta has no clue about what caused the financial crisis or what needs to be done to correct it.
If Barletta is suggesting that this bill be re-worked so that all it does is point a big, scornful finger at bank executives and blame everything on them, fine. I would just wonder what effect he would think that would have on the continuing financial crisis. If Barletta is suggesting that Congress offer no help to the nation’s financial institutions, I would question him on what impact he would think that would have on the American peoples’ financial future and faith in the economy.
This entire statement issued by Lou Barletta is a bunch of hot air. It accomplishes nothing and adds even less to the debate about what should be done to remedy this financial crisis. Lou Barletta obviously has no intelligent opinions on what needs to be done to correct this financial crisis, even though he is trying very hard to give the impression that he does. In these trouble times, where so much of our future is on the line and in the hands of our political leaders, we simply can not afford to send a man like Lou Barletta to Congress.

Perhaps the mayor uses some fear-mongering taxes, but he’ll be a freshman in a pool of 435, he won’t be able to cram all of his radical ideas down everyone’s throats, and he would be a breath of fresh air compared to the 24 years of Kanjo’s self-service. Just my opinion.

In that first line, it should read “tactics,” not taxes. Thanks.

“but he’ll be a freshman in a pool of 435, he won’t be able to cram all of his radical ideas down everyone’s throats,…”
Does this make it OK to vote him in???? A very poor reason to elect someone to such an important position.
