Tell me folks are we really as stupid as the folks on Wall St. think we are. Will congress give 750 Billion dollars to companies who want to reward the Executives for leading their companies into bankruptcy, while middle class Americans are losing houses everyday. The one thing I learned in economics class is that businesses fail everyday. I don't see the government coming to their rescue. I worked for two companies that went bankrupt, I didn't;t cry I just went and found another job. I am stll under-employed, haven't had a vacation in 7 years, but I am surviving. Where was the government when the companies I worked for bottomed out.
Now they want to hold the American taxpayer economically hostage. If we don;t save them there will be more lay-offs, higher prices and more homes lost. along with farmers not being able to borrow at a low rate.
Before they get one penny the whole financial system need to be fully investigated, someone mis-appropriated funds. Too many execs living high on the hog, not sharing the wealth parties and whore hopping. If I had to give them anything it would be just enough to get by, that's how I have been doing it, so why can't they do it, too. Each and every penny should be accounted for, tax auditors should be stationed at each company counting everything that comes in and goes out and for what reason it is going in and out (no pun intended). The big execs need to start working at McDonald's and car washes, to see what real work is all about. they need to miss vacation for a few years to understand the true value of a dollar, they need to see what it is like to struggle each and everyday. Now those of us who pay taxes have to foot the bill.
Enough is Enough :twisted:
