wheres my bailout?

I just find it hard to believe that after allll this, there are still people out there facing eviction tomorrow. STILL families who cant make it another week, employers contemplating who they have to let go next month, etc etc -- ALL this talk of 'bailout' does what again for us? me? you? All this money being shifted around, and i didn't even qualify for that little stimulous check! where is my bailout? when do i get relief? My taxes are nearly 35% (single career woman, no kids). I get NO help - yet im forced to help those who started this mess?? thats like being abused, then paying for the medical treatment of the abuser who hurt his hand while punching my face...only in America...

inflation

THIS IS THE BIG PROBLEM! THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP INFLATION. WITH ALL THE MONEY ENTERING THE MAEKET, PRICES WILL CLIMB BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. THE GREEDY RETAILERS WILL CHARGE, CHARGE AND CHARGE!!!!!! WHY NOT? PEOPLE WILL BE LOADED WITH GOVERNMENT MONEY, EXCEPT FOR THE RETIRED PEOPLE.

Bailout

I think you need to go back to school and learn math. The bureau of labor reports we have 154.5 million people working in the country - to include unemployed. $700 Billion spread across each laborer is only $4,500, roughly, each. And thats without bailing anybody out!
