Comments on: Protesters Lash Out At Bailout Plan

At Rallies Large And Small Around The Country, Taxpayers Speak Out About The Bush Admin.'s Economic Rescue Plan

[stand4justus]

I wonder....
....how many people will be protesting tomorrow morning, after this weekends final bill draft?
....if people will take a day off their job to make a profound statement and save what little we do have left?
....if protesting can make any difference?
....if the powers that be have considered that they will be getting voted (booted) out on election day?
....what the world will be like this time next year?

Our government has forgotten about the people.
If the people are rich materially and spiritually, there is
not much to fear. I trust in our collective intelligence.
Helping those who are driven by anti-depressant and have already demonstrated imprudence and greed would not help the country as a whole. Chrysler Corporation, for example. Decades after the Carter''s bailout, the company has done not much to improve our society and is still producing
gas-guzzling cars. It is time for the both candidates to start talking "for the people."

This bailout does not include any regulations being put back in place to keep the same thing from happening again. Regulations were in place until 1st Nixon, 2nd Reagan, 3rd Daddy Bush & then Jr finally completely deregulated wall street & see what happened? Then they managed to get "free trade" established!!!! Terrible, but looks like we have to legislate morality because man has none!

Ok, Bush told us: Iraq is going to kill us all... Lets put all this billions to attack them , otherwise we''ll have a horrible death...
Now he is saying: We''ll all go to hell if we do not give all these billions to the bankers... we all will crash down and be in terrible dispair... we''ll be back to the stone age if we do not do this!

You know what... One time shame on you, second shame on me.
I heard this once before. I will not fall for the same twice. If the congress falls again for it, shame on them.
I have no political training, nor I have congressional experience. I just can recognize a car sales man when I hear their pitch.
If congress gives bankers the money, well, we can do nothing, but then we all will know who to vote for...

This is not a presidential debate story. Let us all stay focused. I can say that the unbelievable amount of times that I have heard Washington use the word BILLION in the last 8 years, it is no wonder that we are where we are! TAXPAYERS SHOULD NOT PAY! I do agree with the Jail them not Bail them, why has Washington not thought of this? If it were you or I that brought the economy crashing, we would be gone for life. Where is our freedom, our Justice? What has this country come to? VERY SCARY!

I disagree with that statement buddy. The republicans had been in control for SIX YEARS and it was already heading down the drain! This crisis can be traced back to the 80s and dear President Reagan. His Voodoo Economics (quoting Daddy Bush here) is what started this whole mess! Republicans don''t have enough brains to balance a checkbook let alone a budget! So if you want to put the blame where it TRUELY lies, blame your dear, sweet GOP party! By the way, looks like Jr. Bush''s tax incentive checks didn''t do a heck of a lot of good did it? Sure did stimulate the economy . . . not!

"What a mess that the Democrats are going to inherit.
Was it planned?"

It was supposed to collapse after the election. That way, McCain could use it as justification for some additional looting for the rich.

Since the house of cards folded early, the Republicans will pay a heavy political price for their irresponsibility.

[dyin4action]

gotta vote em all out. maximum time limit gotta change. 8 yrs max. Let''s face it, the only way these knuckleheads can make the country better is to have to go back into the mainstream and work in it.

other than that, it''ll stay the same. them versus us. vote them out, and demand time limits so they can''t abuse their power

[tibu987]

Can there be yet more disasters and disgraces that the Bush cabal can give us?

Well, yes, things could continue to be bad. That would be to vote for McCain/Palin and guarantee four more years of the same.

A bailout by any other name is still a bailout.

I oppose the bailout in any form.

Let the chips fall where they may.
A recession or depression will allow the country to regain its position with time and in better shape.
Allow nominal mortgage payments until it gets sorted out.

Many Wall Street and mortgage companies made hundreds of millions of dollars in their usurious positions and took obscene salaries and bonuses, some in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

I do want to see them rewarded for their avarice and mismanagement.
***
Let''s keep in mind that had the lawmakers, i.e., Congress, been doing their job this bailout should never have happened.
Now, they want to be heralded as our saviors, B-lls-it.
Vote for term limits and vote the old guys, over two terms, out of office.

Blame your comgressmen and senators for allowing this disgrace to happen.

[cheerybye]

Of course Bush wants a bailout. He''s an alcoholic rich kid who never had to be accountable in his life. He''s just doing for Wall St. what his mommy did for him all his life. And McCain with his bellyaching about his war experience. GET OVER IT a real hero would get on with his life and stop complaining out of respect for the guys who never came home.

America is based on free enterprise. In this context, the risk is that companies can and do fail. Should the government bail out very company that failed in America? No. Other companies will be born and other will improve and make up for the failures of the others by learning from their mistakes.

If we bail them out now, then no lesson will be learned and free enterprise cannot be sustained. Where does it end? Do we bail out the auto industry, which has crippled the state of Michigan''s economy? Nope, no bailout there and Michigan is turning to other ways to enhance their economy, thus moving away from reason of the failure.

The lesson being that the reasons for this meltdown have not changed and bailing it out does nothing to change the course that led to this development in the first place. Allow the free enterprise system to work. Allow the economy a chance to regulate itself and it will. We will take some blows and we will be black and blue, but I would rather have some bruises along the way, then be put on life support later because no lesson was learned.

The definition of insanity is doing the same over and over expecting different results.

Let the very essence of the American economy work. Give it a chance. Bailing out will only work for the short term, but without having learned anything from this and changing/fixing the very reasons it occurred, will only mean later on, we will have to continually repeat the bailout.

TERM LIMITS FOR ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

[walt1944-2009]

The Great Emperor Bush II is unmoved over the anger of the citizens of the USSA towards the wealthy, the greedy, Corporate America, Big Oil, Wall Street, the neocon Fascist National Socialist Nazi Republicans, the evil, cowardly, Whimpo-crats, Congress, and most of all HIM!!!

Have I left out anyone???

The Great Emperor belches out that he sent ALMOST everyone a tax incentive back in the spring and he has, therefore, "helped out" the average citizen already. Why should he help us out again when his corporate "Buddies" (supposedly) need help???

After all, The Great Emperor believes that the rich and powerful need to remain rich and powerful and even more so since they are the ones who run the country. The citizens are there just to pay and pay and pay, and become cannon-fodder for the Emperor''s many wars!

Unfortunately for the Great Emperor and the neocon Fascist National Socialist Nazi Republicans, they have forgotten that revolutions have occurred for a lot less!!!

SIG HEIL, THE GREAT EMPEROR NEEDS YOUR MONEY!!!, BUSH!!!
sig heil, HE JUST DOESN''T UNDERSTAND!, McBush!!!
sig heil, I UNDERSTAND, I THINK???, Palin!!!

lovegetpeace - ''I say, there is absolutely no crisis if your measurement is public activism.''

The ''crisis'' is far less dire than the gloom and doomers are making it out to be. We are not even officially in a recession and unemployment is still relatively low.

The bureaucrats are throwing $700 Billion at a problem that most have NO fundamental comprehension of, nor do they have ANY idea if it will help or not!

They simply want to make it appear that they are ''doing something'' so the sheeple will vote them back into office.

After all, the most important thing to a bureaucrat, above all else, is re-election. They are addicted to state power.
