I oppose the proposed bailout plan because we are supposed to be a free
market economy. That means if they make poor business decisions, they
take the consequences. If I don't pay my bills, my utilities get turned
off, or the bank takes my house. It is the same thing. Let the private
sector step up and invest in new was of funding. Let the visionaries
figure new financing tools. If you all don't know what went wrong,
throwing money at it won't fix the problem and if you do know what went
wrong you should have seen it coming. That is your job. Experts have
been warning FOR YEARS about some of this fallout. Why did you wait so
long? Too busy debating whether or not to change the name of french fries
to freedom fries? Too busy focusing on a war we should have never started
in the first place? All this game playing and now after suffering years
of financial problems you want the taxpayer, yet again to clean up your
messes. It is irresponsible and immoral. Get it together and stand up to
this President and his Administration of ignorance, greed and shame. I
know it isn't easy, but someone has to look out for the best interest of
the PEOPLE. Remember us? We are the ones who grant you your jobs and
were are very upset. I do not trust you, any of you, to take care of this
problem. All of you are either seeking unprecedented powers, worried
about your image in the press, trying to pander to your rich friends who
got us into this mess or are so myopic there is no way you could see any
other alternative than to increase the national debt to unbelievable
levels. I appeal to your sense of duty to THE PEOPLE. DO NOT give this
President and his henchmen the reigns again. The last two times we
allowed him to make decisions this sweeping we lived to regret it. Help
me to believe in our system of governance again. Help me to believe that
my voice counts for something. I will not forget and I do vote.
Sincerely,
Beth Medina
This letter went to the President, Secretary Paulson
Representative Issa, Senator Boxer, Senator Feinstein

I was on the fence about the bailout, but now I look at it this way. Maybe we need to "suffer" for a few years and learn as individuals and as a country to cut back and save for harder times. The alternative is to use "fuzzy math" and give this problem a quick fix that our children will have to pay for.
I would rather have to deal with this problem then passing the buck to my kids.
Amen, Sister!
I also read somewhere that if we gave the billions of dollars to every american instead of bailing out the company's everyone would get a ridiculous amount like 100k - I think that would help us all alot more than the bailout!
