Okay, this is the last I'm going to say about the most recent bail out proposal.
NO!
If my business failed, I would have to file bankruptcy. The government wouldn't bail me out! We should not bail out these financial institutions. If their businesses failed, they should have to do what the rest of us have to do. If there's been criminal activity, then the criminals should be prosecuted.
Did the World Bank, or Bush and his big money oil buddies, care if gas prices made food prices go up so high that people had to make choices of whether to put food on the table and gas in the car to go to work OR pay their bills? I doubt it. Well, the the World Bank manipulating the dollar and oil prices are why we're in this mess. There's your trickle down effect.
In a recent interview I saw with Bush, he had no idea what the price of gas was and asked a reporter to tell him, he said, "Is it around $3? I have no idea." The reporter corrected him and said it was over $4 a gallon in some areas.
Bush says he's confident this bailout will fix the economy. What planet is he on? It's not going to fix the price of gas which affects the price of food - which is affecting the economy in an adverse way! HELLO! This man is so far removed from mainstream America that it's embarrassing!
I mean, this bailout, isn't this the very Big Government that Bush is against AND warns against? So let me get this straight. It's okay for large financial corporations to be greedy, mismanage, over-extend and possibly cheat the books because Big Government will bail them out.
And this is okay? We're just supposed to sit back and take it? If you were concerned about electing a Democrat because of Big Government? That's out the window. Big Government is here NOW and it appears that parties have little to do with it.
Take the money out of elections and maybe a really good candidate will have a snowball's chance. Eliminate the two party system because it divides the country and maybe this country will experience more unity. The Democrats will always be better than the Republicans and the Republicans will always be better than the Democrats. They will always waste each others time (as well as ours and our tax dollars) with Nixon politics, and their personal agendas take the place of public agendas.
Will we ever have a government that represents the best interests of the majority of the PEOPLE it governs?
Election reform.
