Now, this is not “Clinton bashing” just putting into perspective when the mess we are in started, that it’s a decade in the making, and gives some insight into why it is the government is talking bailout. The started the problem to begin with.

First off, if you cannot afford a home you cannot afford a home. Deal with it. Changing the system to meet the needs of those who cannot afford it was/is simply a bad idea.

Next, raise the tax rate for short term capital gains and extend the time frame to qualify for long term capital gains. This should help to stave off all the wild speculation that I believe has become too much of a driving force.

Wall street… End the speculation triggered buying and selling. If someone wants to gamble, go to a casino. There’s no reason in the world to make it so easy for speculators to swing the market so drastically. It’s just too damn easy for speculators/speculation to command and drive the market rather that “real demand”. This needs to stop.

How does creating more debt and printing more money cure debt? I just cannot seem to wrap my mind around the proposals being considered – it makes no sense to me.

Who else will we pay for? Eventually, China might want that 500 billion back. I foresee the taxpayers paying it!

This is simply ludicrous. Not only that but in a nutshell, he’s saying trust me I know what I’m doing.

The figure I heard this morning is that as proposed it will cost every man, woman, and child $2K. How many “K” do you think the CEO’s and executives who orchestrated the failure made?

Another disturbing thing is that this “plan” includes bailing out foreign banks without any assistance in tow from their own governments.

Who else are we going to get to pay for?

If you’re really green, you won’t drive, fly, use electricity, eat at restaurants or buy products of any kind. You would live in the wild, growing your own food, riding a bicycle, walking, drinking river water and never bathing; otherwise, you’re just another environmental terrorist like everyone else…hahaha

The Truth

Unfortunately, the truth isn’t profitable in the political warfare between liberals and conservatives. As one example, Al Gore profited from his Inconvenient Truth which fueled his alleged political crisis of Global Warming. Seems both sides now want a piece of Gore’s pie.

Last week, Treasury secretary Paulson said the economy was fine. This week he says it’s falling apart and today, suddenly needs 700 billion dollars! How can we be expected to respect him? Do ya think he knows what he’s talking about? Hahaha

Personal income.

Now what I want to see is not all these “programs” that tug on the heart strings, but a viable means of stopping all the spending.

The banking industry is a joke. Add the oil industry to comedy line up as well. Health care… headliner at the economic joke fest.

Tell me why it is health care providers can provide a service for a thousand different prices depending upon who your insurance company is?

Tell me why it is health insurance companies can provide coverage for one price to a large employee group but requires 2X as much or more for an individual or small business owner for the exact same coverage?

Tell me why it is some cars used to get 40-50 miles to the gallon but getting half as much now is “better”?

And finally, tell me why it is that hot dogs and hot dog buns can’t be packaged in the same quantities? Where’s the ear mark for that?
