Government Bail Out - Will it Work?

The President says we need it, The House says it’s not a good move and we’re all just hanging out in the wind waiting for an outcome!  I don’t typically speak about political affairs, especially the economy but this is one time I want to just state a little of what I feel on the matter.  Economics is definitely not my strong point and I rarely discuss it so I don’t come out looking a fool, so for all of you who would enjoy a momentous giggle on my behalf here it is!  I don’t get it!  I literally don’t understand what the hell the U.S. Government is doing!  Why are we bailing out companies that should be held responsible for their own failures?  Yes I do realize the large ramifications of not doing it, but I also know business and this is not good business!  I have managed, owned and worked for many different companies my entire working career, and how many times have I felt the sting of errors in judgment after making a mistake?  But here comes the good ole U.S. of A to the rescue and now their putting the entire Nation at risk! I don’t get it!

$700 Billion, a number that amazes the hell out of me and one that isn’t even close to enough to begin to fix the problem at that, is on the line!  Money that “WE THE PEOPLE” have worked so hard for and possibly don’t even have to lose are faced with losing everything.  We are at a point that ANY mistake that the government makes will put most of us out on the street and left with not one worthless American penny to our names!  How can we allow this?  Yes allow!  WE THE PEOPLE as it is so clearly stated in the constitution control this country!  At the end of the day it is our vote and our say that makes or breaks this nation, but yet we are left out wondering what we will do when we get screwed!  We are all just getting screwed because of the fact we have not one word to say on what is happening on capital hill!

2008 is a voting year and everyone is out to make a difference and change the world!  Yes but what will happen after the winner is selected?  What will be the next step?  Will there even be a country for this man to run after the government gets done with it?  I’m not speaking against the government as a whole, just the poor decisions that have been getting made and those that are just getting worse.  We can’t blame it all on the government only because we elected these people into office, maybe we were lied to and convinced to vote for them under the wrong pretences but none the less we still voted them in!  We need to make that change ourselves now!  Vote very carefully because as of right now not only do these banks need a bailout, but so do we as the U.S. citizens!  I haven’t chosen who I will vote for, but I have been paying very close attention to the whole game being played and I have changed my mind quite a few times and yes I am a Democrat but this isn’t about no damn Elephant or Donkey it’s about the right person stepping into office and how the needed changes will be done to bring us out of this mess we have been put into!  So Vote, but Vote with all the information you can get, not only because you bought a Nice tee Shirt!
