LaRouche Says 'No Bailout--Send These Crooks To Jail'

September 20, 2008 (LPAC)--Lyndon LaRouche responded today to the proposed bailout legislation from Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, by issuing a firm "no." "No bailout can be permitted," LaRouche declared. "Freeze all the speculative paper, for purposes of auditing. If you go with any kind of bailout, you lose control over the situation." LaRouche explained, "Congress has got to get ruthless with these swindlers. I am afraid too many members of Congress are owned, outright by the likes of George Soros and Felix Rohatyn. I don't think Congress, collectively, has the guts to act on behalf of the American people."

LaRouche demanded that Congress has to "scare the Hell out of these characters. They have been looting the American people blind for the past thirty years or more. They have sent people off to jail, because they dared to get in the way of their thievery. Now it is time to turn the tables. This is not the time to make nice deals. This is not the time to be reasonable.

"The nation is being screwed. These guys don't have anything coming to them. Poor people have been denied health care because of these swine. Let's start frog marching them off to jail, where they belong."
