Did anyone watch the President with his speech last night? I'm quite confused on this whole matter. I mean we are all in a state of mishap here...people loosing there homes...jobs...struggling to keep their head above the waters...what exactly did his speech mean last night? I'm no expert in this field so thats why I'm asking. How is this going to help the people. And when I say people I mean the people that are struggling day by day...loosing everything they worked for. How's this going to help the ones that are already in a Bankrupcty? It sounded more like it was going to help the bigger people and companies...not us little people. Can anyone explain this to me...in plain english...lol Please. Thank You so much.

I'm curious too. If these giants went under, would our retirment accounts, health insurance, life insurance, investments, and etc be worthless if they are held with these companies?

This is what I don't understand...why are we once again gonna help these large co. bail out of their financial debts? We're struggling as it. And when is the govt. going to start helping the smaller people. I'm torn on who to vote for because I don't hear what I want to hear from either of them. Noone is helping the smaller people who already have lost their homes or jobs or just can't get by with what their making...but let's be sure to be good neighbors and help out these other countries that don't do a thing for us. Can anyone please help me understand what the President meant in his speech and how is this going to effect us small people. Thank You
