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.

The Bush Traveling Medicine Show
I didn't take out a risky mortgage and I don't want to pay for additional legislation!!!!!!!!
It is going to cost YOU and ME thousands of dollars to pay for these government bailouts.
I would love to live in a bigger house. I'm crammed into a very small place with barely enough room for a small Christmas tree. But I didn't go buy a house that I couldn't afford. I had some common sense.
And now, I'm going to be forced to pay for these greedy mortgage companies and their out-of-control spend spend spend-nuts who over extend themselves??!!
I DON'T THINK SO! Why should I be punished because I did the right thing?
We are paying for enough b.s. through the price of gas. And now the government wants to pass additional legislation (which translates into you and me paying even more!) to support these companies. Oh My God! Just when I was about to think this administration couldn't screw us any worse, they pull this out of their hat!
NO NO NO! It's not fair to make me pay for this kind of stupidity! I don't want to pay for this bottle of crap being sold to me by the doctors of the greatest traveling medicine show this country has ever seen, the Bush administration and this ridiculous Congress! People WAKE UP! Don't allow this to happen! Enough is enough! You're being dumbed-down so that stupid legislation like this can just slither by.
We've bailed them out, which will cost each one of us an additional $3000 per year, and that's enough. No more. No Additional Legislation!!!
Write your state representatives! https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml
DON'T BUY THE ELIXIR!
I actually read a comment at www.congress.org by a republican who believes the democrats' hatred for Bush will prevent this new legislation from passing. I am not a democrat or a republican. I HATE the two party system. I think it divides the country. This has nothing to do with how I feel about Bush and everything to with what his administration and this Congress is doing, in my opinion. It has everything to do with stupidity, bad management and panic.
The economy was already in the toilet for us clear-thinking common folk. The mortgage crisis just compounded it.
Realistically, the government had to bail out those companies to keep the stock market from completely crashing, based on the way the government wants you to think the country works. We could have been knocking on depression's door, they claimed.
I think that if you took a risk on a mortgage beyond your means, I shouldn't be the one accountable for it. Being unaccountable is just NOT an option anymore!
NO MORE ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION!

Hurricane Hysteria Update
It's about 11:15 in the evening. There's a mild cold front pushing through, the same one that steered Ike north. There was a quick downpour at my house that lasted about 3 minutes. While we need three days of that, 3 minutes is better than nothing.
Hurricane Hysteria
I would like to take this opportunity to address, what I call, hurricane hysteria. I live in south central Texas near San Marcos and Austin. For two days I have watched pure insanity.
I went to the local Dollar General to buy some batteries for my son's keyboard. There were no batteries in the store. There were no batteries in any store. Or bread. Bottled water. Non-perishables. I discovered that people bought every battery within a 45 mile radius.
I watched people pull in all they're lawn furniture (sorry Bill) and my new neighbors from Houston remove everything in their yard, period! I was sure they were going to begin boarding up windows any minute.
There were lines at the gas stations and grocery stores. People were stocking up and hunkering down. The hurricane was coming! The hurricane was coming!
Ya'll..........do you just not know where you live? Are you watching the Weather Channel, relating to the area and forgetting that you're not there anymore? OR WHAT?
We are 200 miles INLAND!! And on the west side of the hurricane. (The west side of the hurricane does not pack as big of an impact as the east side typically). Houston and Galveston are sending evacuees HERE to be safe.
It's going to be windy today. It's windy here a lot. My tin man used to blow over all the time from the wind. If we're lucky, and I do mean lucky because the river is dry, we will get a good rain. So far, no rain at all. Not a drop. Maybe daytime heating will spawn a shower with one of the hurricane bands. We can only pray.
So, ya'll need to get a grip! All of that hurricane hysteria energy has pushed away much needed rain. If you want to panic about a high wind situation, save it for when we are in an El Nino year and we have the 65 mph winds that tear up everything in your yard and trees. Those winds almost took off my roof. We have inclement weather in this area caused primarily from fronts coming through that can spawn tornadoes, electrical outages and floods. All those people that stocked up for Ike should be well prepared now for the cold fronts that will be coming down the road.
And by the way, I heard on the radio that the enormous surge at the gas pumps have now caused gas prices to go up. I have not heard yet about the damage the oil rigs in the gulf have sustained, if any.
People need to start thinking and using common sense and not panic mode. Break away from the mob mentality. I don't care what the local media says. In cases like this, they don't know. It's just conjecture. They're flying by the seat of their pants. I know this first hand.
I'm going to go water my garden now and mow my lawn.
My heart goes out to those people in Galveston and Houston who have lost property and lives.

This Is A War For Oil - Who Really Sets The Gas Prices
Lindsey Williams, a patriot and an ordained Baptist minister of 28 years, went to Alaska in 1971 as a missionary. The Trans-Alaska oil pipeline began its construction phase in 1974, With the full support of the Alyeska Pipeline Company, he volunteered to serve as Chaplain because he was concerned for the spiritual welfare of the men working on the pipelines, He was given access to inside information and firmly believes that whoever controls energy controls the economy. He has written a book: The Energy Non-Crisis.
There have been accounts that claim Williams is a fraud. But, as with many of Williams' claims that can't be verified, neither can his debunkers. Only time will tell if his predictions pan out.
