Welfare for the rich confirmed. We spend about $30 billion a year on welfare for the poor, but the average "welfare" for the rich is almost triple that. Yet you don't hear Republicans complaining about that do you.

Weren't the republicans the ones who voted against the Bailout in the first place stating that there wasn't enough regulations and checks on it... and that some of them were just completly against welfare of any kind?

I'm pretty sure that was the house republicans who did that.


Either way... where's the oversight?  This is the difference between regulation and oversight.  The congress could eaisly block this from happening and demand the money back... yet.
