Feinstein and the Senate bailout vote

Date: Friday, October 03, 2008 12:10 AM

<<<<< JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER No. 1928 -- 10/03/2008 >>>>>

The bailout bill might at first glance seem to have very little to do with the
usual subjects in this newsletter like for instance guest worker visas or
outsourcing, but it's worth noting that most of the Senators that supported
the expansion of H-1B visas through Comprehensive Immigration Reform also
supported the bailout.

The Senate bailout vote
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14196.html

Obama, Biden, McCain, and Clinton all voted yes. No surprise there!

Sen. Dianne Feinstein also voted for it, along with her California cohort
Barbara Boxer.

Dianne Feinstein has been the topic of this newsletter many times because she
is one of the most ardent supporters of H-1B, amnesty, and all things bad on
immigration. Over the years there has been plenty of speculation how a senator
from California could have such a callous attitude towards engineers and
computer IT workers who have suffered career destruction because of her
enthusiasm for H-1B. Feinstein's recent speech on the floor of the Senate
sheds some light on that mystery.

To paraphrase Feinstein: She acknowledged that her office received 91,000
calls from constituents; 85,000 against the bailout, and the small remainder
in support of a bailout. Despite the overwhelming opinion of her constituents
she voted yes. She justified her actions by saying that her job is safe and
secure, so therefore she can do whatever she wants. She went on to explain
that her constituents (i.e. the little people) don't understand complex issues
so she can ignore what they think.

In an ironic twist, Feinstein said that she cares about the livelihood of her
constituents. Has anybody ever explained to her that H-1Bs and illegal aliens
aren't supposed to be able to vote?

Bottom line here is that as long as Californians continue to vote for
Feinstein she will continue to show her disdain for the will of the people.

LOU DOBBS TONIGHT

Big Bailout Vote

Aired October 1, 2008 - 19:00 ET

DOBBS: Well, we're waiting for the Senate to begin its vote on this now $850
billion bailout legislation. Back with Ed Rollins, Errol Louis and Miguel
Perez. We have just received word that Dianne Feinstein, Senator Feinstein's
office has been receiving calls. I mentioned that I thought there were some
people lying about the ratio of calls for and against that they're receiving
from their constituents. Senator Feinstein's office says point blank they
received 92,000 phone calls, and presumably, that's just today, 92,000 calls,
85,000 of those calls absolutely against this bailout.

I mean, I don't know where we're headed here, but it's not in the direction of
a democracy, because the rule of the majority is not in question here.
The last time the majority rule -- I thought that was a fundamental tenant,
precept of any democracy that the majority rules. What is going on? Are we a
democracy, Miguel?

PEREZ: Actually, you know, no, it doesn't look that way right now especially
since we're socializing our economy.
