On Leaders need to use courage to fix finances

And where is your explanation of how the bailout, which you fought for and got passed, reconciles with your "Roadmap for America"? Talk of the Roadmap is great Paul, but you didn't get any of it passed.

What you DID get passed was a $700 billion bill, which is being used to partially nationalize banks with little oversight, and being spent on companies with little chance of seeing a return to the taxpayer. According to BailoutSleuth.com, any information being released by the Treasury Dept. is being heavily redacted such that nobody knows what the money is being spent on. This came from YOUR bill. Where is the oversight that you supposedly got inserted?

The Roadmap for America cannot be used to justify your existance in Congress if it never comes to fruition, while at the same time you fight for and get passed bills which undermine our children's country, and their financial well being.

It is time to stop talking about the Roadmap, and start talking about the bailout, and how your Roadmap has to change because of that massive increase in spending.

For my part, I am glad that you turned down a role in the House leadership. You have shown the lack of clear thinking that is required for such a position. Someone with leadership potential would not have bought into the panic that Bush and the Fed were selling, that somehow if nothing was done in an irresponsibly short period of time, that we would fall into Depression.

You owe your constituents an apology.
