Bail-out as I see it.

[allaboutmary]

Ok ......say I lend 10 people money.......8 out of those 10 have stopped making payments to me.  10 more people are in line to borrow more money from me, but I'm thinking.....hmmm I'm getting screwed. I've also noticed that many of these people are losing their jobs and sure doesn't  look like a good risk.

My sister Magi comes along and says I'm going pay off what the 8 people owe you. Cool beans for me !   As the other 10 line up to borrow the money that was just repaid to me.......I'm thinking .....no way.....your about to lose your job and I have learned my lesson........you have no collateral .......too risky.

This is how I see our bail-out going.   The American people just got screwed !

Please let me know how you see this......................I'm praying I'm wrong..

[dominosarah]

that is why i asked those questions??  What about those CEO"S?  Does this free up more money for them to get a healthy bonus??

[extrmeski]

What makes me flaming mad is these executives of these companies that get multi-millions of dollars to run these companies into the ground!  And there is no accountability!  They walk off with their golden parachutes and they are fine.  Heck I would have run those companies into the ground for 1/2 of those millions!!

with 540 trillion already spent on Iraq and 13 billion a month for a s long as we stay in there.....and a deficit of already 11 trillion we're gonna pay taxes no ifs and or butts about it!i don't care whose private parts any prez licks or says he didn't.....Clinton balanced our budget b4 he left office....and we really have the sinking of the titanic here!And sweet Sarah NOT says we should stay in Iraq for as long as necessary?how long is that?another 8 years?

I have already decided that in my state there are two representatives who voted against the bill.  One is a republican and one a democrat.  They will both get my vote in the next election.  The only represenative that vote YES was Rep. Chris Cannon and luckily he has already lost his seat.  Senator Hatch and Sentator Bennett will not get my vote since they voted for it.  We found out from Representative Matheson's (the only democrat in the House of Representatives from Utah) office that 90% of the people who called his office asked him NOT to vote for the bill, and he DID NOT vote for the bill.  He's a democrat in a very republican state and he will get our vote.  Everyone is saying that he showed he cares to do what the people want.  Our politicians have forgotten who they work for.  He has no fear about losing his seat.  He has shown he know who he works for!

This bailout is NOT going to help us.  It might stall a deep depression for a little while, but that's all and then we're stuck as taxpayers with all this extra money added to the deficit.  Guess who gets to pay for it?  Yes, you and me!  I'm sorry but McCain and Obama will not be able to lower taxes for anyone.  If they say they will right now, they are both lying - it won't be able to be done.  

I wish all of us Americans would get together and send a message to the republicans and democrats and vote for one of the independants this year.  I know that's wishful thinking and will most likely never happen - but at some point we need to send a message to Congress!!!  

Sorry for my rambling, but I'm so ticked over this bailout that it makes me sick!!!

[dominosarah]

I just have one question on this??  Are the same CEO's and upper management still in their positions??  Hopefully still making multi millions for doing such a fantastic job??  Guess that was 2 questions............

Im chapped.
