I Am Angry!!!
People bought houses they knew they could not afford from banks who knew they couldn't afford them. On top of that the derivitives/hedge funds are off the charts (huge amount more than this housing problem)
Well, I did not buy a house or purchase anything on credit. I work paycheck to paycheck already being overtaxed, paying high gas prices, high groceries, high rent, HIGH EVERYTHING! Now because of the banks greed- and YES....this is their responsibility. They gambled and they LOST! They just want us to be the ones who pay for their GREED! Our government wants us to pay for their greed! Many countries want us to pay for their greed! THIS IS WRONG!!!!!
This bailout proposal (and NO- it IS NOT A "RESCUE PLAN" no matter how they want to sugar-coat it) does nothing to help me or most other americans. It's directly wanted to help the guilty!
What more do you want from us????? This government has stripped us of our freedoms our fourfathers and many others fought for, they have allowed these corporations to send our jobs overseas in order to pay pennies on the dollar for slave labor with no rights or protections, they lay tax upon tax, upon tax on paychecks, bills, gas pumps, and everything else.... our purse has been pried open because they might have missed a nickle. So many families homeless, so many others can't put food on the table.
I want to know why WE (the innocent) are expected to bare the burden when we have lost so much more. Other countries suffer because they expect us to buy up their imports- WITH WHAT?????? Our country has made sure to strip anything away from us. People started living on money they didn't have. They still had families to feed. Corporate america took their money and their jobs with our governments blessing!
NO BAILOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other words, lets sit in the boat and wait for the storm to hit us.
I'm not thrilled about this bail out bill, even less the things added into it now... seems like the wrong things, really... but damn it we have to do something.
I do think we need each
