Video: Bailout Bill: The Winners and Losers

bailout

before you ask the taxpayors to pay the piper for the excess of wall street and the incompetence of washington DC, perhaps they ought to consider easing the buden on mainstreet first. I figure 3.5 billion should give every citizen that made less than 2 million net last year a $25K damages award before our government spends $700 billion of our future to bail-out the cheats, liars and theives on wall street. It will allow the stupid folks who didn't listen to their highschool economics teacher talk about ARM's and balloon payments to re-negotiate the mortgages they couldn't afford in the first place. It will allow the moderately stable to pay off debt and save for retirement. It will take every citizen off the welfare rolls for at leat 12 months. it will give any kid (and adult)who wants it, the chance to go back to school. it rewards the poor but not stupid like me who new I could not afford a mortgage on an ARM but work my butt off year after year for low wages adn will never be able to afford a home of my own; i may not even be able to retire before I die. It will allow the truly stupid the spending spree of their dreams and the wise the chance to affect some change in their lives and futures. Most of all, it will stimulate this economy like no-bodies business! then go fix the mess for wall street; but pay us damages first, before you ask us to pay for the damage that someone else has done.
