  • "Change we can believe in" again and again. The person who promises to save us all cannot even keep the "goons" out of the money. Here is an idea---NO MORE MONEY TO ANY OF THEM. If you cannot be in business and make money, you are done just like us little people. How does a hand out help things any when these CEO's have their heads up their own butts? Stupid is as stupid does and we continue to feed them FREE money. Yep, change we can believe in.

    It's more of that "free" money Jack always talks about. You know..the money to give every American free everything. Regardless of whose to blame the money needs to stop NOW.

    "Bush began the bail-outs,..."

    Sounds just like my 8 and 5 year old fighting....GROW UP Jerknife...find an original opinion..an original thought then come back and we can have as near an intelligent discussion as we can with you.

  • But Obabma keeps the money flowing and the printing press going 24/7. Did anyone watch Dateline last night regarding all of this money? There were NO rules regarding what was to be done with it and there are no rules regarding what WILL happen with it. Our elected officials thought it would make credit flow again-------is that not what got us in this spot to begin with? What good is "credit" if you cannot make the payments because you have NO job?

    The trips and "bonus" bucks will continue to flow. That shiny, new car...

    There was a female attorney on Date line last night that was talking about the mess and she sits on the "board" asking the questions about where the money is and what was done with it. The feds. do not have to tell her but she was "appointed" to this "board" to track the money. It was flushed away and now we will pay the price.

    But never fear...Obama will save us with the next bunch of money to be sent out to these crooks. The houses that were not taken in phase I will be taken in phase II. It keeps us "poor" and at the mercy of those that govern us. That is how they want it. No money for college loans, etc. We live in Russia/Cuba and forgot the trip. We have arrived. Thank you to our elected/appointed officials. Way to represent the people. 600,000 jobs lost last month---I thought the money was supposed to keep people EMPLOYED?!?!?!

    So, you think the plan is wrong now? When did you figure that out?

  • Bush began the bail-out, unfortunately the Democrats controlled congress at the time so it had to be their way. Now they are pushing for another LARGE amount of money the country does NOT have. Just their way of saying we know what's good for the people, and we wont stop until we have controll over everything you say and do. Socialism is here folks. Dont worry though, you'll get whatever Mr. Obama, Nancy Palosi, and Harry Reid think you need. After all, they know better than you what's best for you.

  • MHbouncer:

    How could I have forgot that? The money printers and folks that do not want to pay taxes are key to what makes this nation great---even better when they hold some sort of office. What was I thinking (lol of course)? What a freakin mess. The news of today is even better and Obama on TV last night was the ice in my JD. Idiots---they are all idiots. Mike I agree with your last post. With help like this where will we be at this time next year? Never mind, do not tell me...I want to remain "ignorant" for a short while longer (denial is good). We can do an intervention for me down the road. Between the DC bunch and some of our local folks, we are in some real trouble.

    Would someone PLEASE tell me why 3 Republicans voted for this mess? If I were in congress I'd take them out back and give a whoopin' til they got their heads on straight. Or was there something deeper? Paid? blackmailed? Sheer stupidity? who knows, let's hope they Republican party in their respective states are looking for replacements the next time around.

  • One can rest assure that if McCain had been elected, he would have had this issue and been foreced to take some sort of action. Americans will not simply let the economy fix itself. There are flaws in the system that prevent the economy from meeting equilibrium such as imperfect information, changing financial structure, and past history of action taken by governments both republican AND democrat.
