The Bailout is just another avenue that the current administration is using to protect their own. If a regular, middle class citizen would have taken a company to this state, they would have been FIRED, end of story. The CEO's of all of these companies and their executives should be removed from their positions immediately, no severance, nothing. Their job was to run the companies in a manner that benefited the stockholders, they FAILED, so they should pay. The era of protecting these individuals needs to end. No bailout, let the cards fall where they fall. It really does not matter, does it? travel around and see how tough times are, and wait, when the utility rates go up in 2 years, things will be worse. I shiver when I think about the elderly on fixed incomes having to pay a heating bill this coming winter. Nobody cares, they say they do, it's all hype just to look good in the media. Get away from asking the affluent how times are and ask the people that make up 80% of this country how things are. You are all afraid to ask, why? Because you are afraid of hearing the same answer over and over.

I find it a little upsetting that investors lost 79 billion over the last year while these institutions like Lehman brothers, Merril Lynch, etc... were able to disburse 39 billion in bonuses to their employees - an average of 200,000 per employee. That is dead wrong!!!That information was heard on XM's P.O.T.U.S. 08 this afternoon.

I think the government thinks that if they give us money we will spend it in stores to boost the economy.... The sad part is most of us will use it to pay bills since most people have lost there jobs in the past few years. You should set up a poll on your web site.... I bet others will do the same with the money.

I think taxpayers should be allowed to vote on whether or not we use tax payer money to bail out the big banking industries.
