Have we achieved what we sought? Or are they going to slash and burn us on the way to the door?

I have read what you are saying, what your thoughts put to pen are saying to everyone. Victory!

Seems we have forgotten that we elect so they can perform. That we elected a party of change and the victory is not yet ours. If it were, we would not be hearing about "Bailouts" and "rescue plans" Because once again, giving money to the rich, to eventually trickle down to the poor, DOES NOT WORK....

As I lay in the hospital bed, waiting for the next verdict from the next doctor, I listened. Listened to the News Bytes, of how if we give the richest of the rich, Insurance companies and banks, a glut of money, they would free up the credit market allowing us to get more stuff, cars, bars, clothes, and Christmas Presents. I wondered if I needed any of those things freeing up the credit market would "give me"

Could I use a new Car? Well I can't afford the gas so I guess not.

How about a new house? No Social Security refused me disability, and my little business can not pay me anymore, so no I can't keep the house I have let alone buy a new one. And with the cost of energy these days, I would not want a bigger house anyway. I am cold when I am home, since I can not afford to pay the light bill.

Will they let me borrow money to pay this hospital? No bad risk. How about a loan to pay off all the rest of the loans? REALLY bad risk.

The last sound byte said I bought a house I could not afford, and the over priced mortgage was my fault. But my job paid me enough to pay it then, I am sick now, there is no pay for sick. There is no health insurance for sick, no assistance, only blame.

Christmas presents? Do I need them, right now I would like to be healthy again, Christmas is just another commercial day. For Christmas I would like to be able to pay my bills, so I guess I will wait for my share to trickle down from my bank to my account.

So I listened a little more, waiting for the "bail out" or "rescue plan' that WOULD benefit me and my family.

And there was none.

We elected change, pray god there is some coming.
