Last night President Bush said we must pass these astronomical bailouts or this nation faces a “long and painful recession.”

Let the recession come. It is called consequence and accountability.

We as a nation either face the long and painful consequences now or pass them on to our children. I don’t know about you but I have busted my arse every day, working hard, paying my bills on time, to ensure a better future for them.

I have not worked this hard just to see my children, and their children and their children’s children burdened by and buried in the bad judgment exercised by those coming generations before them.

Let these companies fail.

Let these people lose their homes. They can rent.

Shut down Fannie and Freddie.

Revoke the CRA passed in ’77 that forced lenders to make loans they knew people could not afford.

Let these politicians lose their high salaried political careers, pay for their own cars, and eat at Subway.

The 95% of Americans that have done it right, that have worked every day, paid their bills, and lived within their means - they – we- will struggle through. We will struggle but we will survive.

Bring me my recession. Let it be painful. Let me bear the burden so my children and my children’s children will not have to. Because there is no pain greater than the loss of freedom and liberty, that this bailout ensures. That is a pain I shudder to think I leave for my posterity.
