“I think at this point maybe some Americans are wondering what they can do about this fiasco. I think the iron law of politics is that government will often try to get away with as much as they can until people stand up and say, sorry, you are not going to do that. So I think I would speak for you and many Members of Congress who are saying to the American people, we have enough problems at home. We have a $200 billion deficit and a $4.6 trillion national debt. We do not think it makes a lot of sense within that context to be bailing out an authoritarian and unstable government and a very shaky economy in Mexico. I would very strongly urge the American people, write to the President, write to your Members of Congress and say, wait a second. We want you to stop this $40 billion bailout. So I would hope that the American people would stand up and say, no, Mr. President, no Republican leadership, let us reinvest in America. Let us control our own deficit. I hope we do not take this lying down. If people stand up and fight back, we can yet turn around this fiasco.”
