It's clear the Senate nor House has a clue!! It's time to vote all of these Incumbutts out of office and start over. Give the next group of "Geni-not-for-us" a chance to come up with a new plan. I'm not in the market for this much PORK. Obama said it. You can dress a PIG up and put lipstick on it, but it's still a Pig--and this Rescue Plan (HA! HA! didn't know NASCAR needed rescuing) is one FAT PIG and I'm not buying it!

95% of us don't live on either Wall or Main street.

I am not concerned with the "Golden Parachutes" at all. The money going there pales when compared to the $700,000,000,000 going to buy the worthless paper from the thieves.
The plan has been sold as "Take the Plan" or "Take Armageddon", with nothing in between. Outrageous.
It's time to "VOTE THEM OUT".

While working for one firm. I receive an offer to come to work for another. I negotiate a deal to protect my retirement and agree to sell all interest in my current company and for go all its benefits. This deal insures that my retirement and benefits are protected. And the people who negotiated this deal on the behave of stock holders in go faith. Did so knowing that I would receive this benefit package. Then it was done legally and in good faith. Then I would be correct receiving my golden parachute.

The CEO of Washington Mututal takes $16 million dollars and walks away after 3 weeks on the job and the disollution of his bank!
What more evidence does this country need to understand the politics will always support big money.
Until the american public refuses to pay taxes - so the politiians can't waste our money on pork - this country will continue to spiral downward.

Main stream media is suggesting that the bailout is gaining support in general public. It can't be any father from truth. The truth is that many Amricans fed up with bailouts. This bailout is not going to help main st. It is bailout for the foreign banks and Wall St.
dumping bad loans, credit cards, car, home equity loans, subprime loans, alt-A loans, derivitives, etc. basically garbage, on to the American tax payer.
