Angry about the Bush bailout proposal...

This line is contained in Section 8 of the proposed bailout legislation: "Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? We are going to give them $700B in spending authority and have no way to review it? No way to even oversee it? It's a blank check to rape the system (and by extension, every taxpaying citizen in the country) and cover it up as you go along, all in the name of "rescuing the economy." We clearly need to do something to clean up the mess of years of fiscal conservative deregulation, but giving them license to screw us further without any way to hold them responsible is ludicrous. And the Administration that proposed it should be slowly and carefully spit roasted over an open fire (after an long and proper trial that observes every one of their constitutional rights, and bankrupts them and their families).
