Chicken Little Speaks.

Editor,

Chicken Little Bush told the American people tonight that our jobs, life savings, and kids' futures are going to disappear unless we give Henry Paulson, who as CEO of Goldman Sachs was one of the chief architects of the current failure of Wall Street, totally unregulated control of this crisis.

But Chicken Little doesn't really believe the sky is falling. He is hyping this crisis just like he hyped 9/11 and Saddam's non-existent WMD to manipulate the public into acquiescing to a radical agenda that has been very profitable for war profiteers and other of George Bush's friends and very bad for everybody else.

Suspension of oversight in Articles 2 and 8 of the Bush administration's proposed Wall Street bailout scheme are their most flagrant effort yet to immunize themselves from existing law in order to give themselves and their constituency utterly unchecked power and utterly unchecked access to the American Treasury.

The sky *is* falling, and if the American people do not stop George Bush in his tracks right here, our democracy, not to mention our money, will be gone.
