This is only a gut feeling.
This is not from my experience.
This is just from my knowledge of "good and evil".
This "bailout" and perhaps even the reason for the problem---
is to defraud us for ending the war too soon.
They have succesfully milked us out of three trillion dollars;
with the war graft and the fraudulent sale of Iraqi oil----
and they think we will buy into saving the World
by robbing the treasury. And we have.
If we refill the coffers of the treasury with 700 Billion plus,
they can just continue to rob the till.
What ever happened to letting the market set the price.
We lost that when we allowed a cartel to set the price of oil.
I can remember poor people in Iowa in the thirties
eating sorghum, bread and water for supper.
And now I hear John McCain and Palin crying out
"Socialism" when Obama mentions redistribution of the wealth.
Progressive taxation is not "socialism".
Asking the wealthy to pay their way for the lives that
have been given is not "socialism".
I gave my country four years of my life.
How much are those four years worth?
"Loving your money" is another phrase defining greed
I recall one billionaire making this quote.
"I can eat only one steak at a time".
He was, and is, a good man.
