Ryan
your right, sorry to say

Why should we allow wall street to stick their bad debts on main street? They took the profits and the losses are theirs as well.
Yes it would be bad without the bailout, but it would be much worse for much longer with them.

The money we are borrowing for this is coming from other countries. Lets take the money and then go bankrupt and default on the loan. People in this country do it all the time. Its called filing bankruptcy. Its damn near an institution here. Then we can start over from scratch. Hey….other countries have done the very same thing to us over and over. You know what they say….pay back is a bitch.

Our country IS falling apart……
That ‘s why they (government) bailing everyone out…….
Government caused this problem (bad regulations, wrong deregulation, est…….)
So now they think they can fix it…..
It’s like putting wolf in charge of the hen house…..

They are just stealing your future tax payments. That is what National debt means. They borrow from private banks on what they estimate YOU are willing to pay!
Most people think it has nothing to do with them…hahahaha
They just borrowed $7000 per taxpayer + interest. (in one day and they are not done!) We already owed over $30,000 each.
The dollar is not worth anything …it is an IOU based on our ability to pay TAXES!
Screw you kids that don’t vote. I am thinking I will just take my crappy retirement and go back to Alaska …at least there is free seafood…Try to pay all of this crap on a $50,000 dollar wages with kids and a college loan payment…cannot do it.

You have Bush to thank for the present predicament we are in. Seven years of corrupted governing and 2 wars with no end in sight would bankrupt any healthy nation’s economy. Actually America is living on borrowed money from China and I think it prudent for Americans to refrain from antagonizing them as they virtually own our butts.
