How Do You Feel The Bailout is Working?

[StevieD]

yeah cie...i know but who wants to argue with people who have a sickness that they don't know they have..

AR, go plant a tree!

This has nothing to do with hatred of Bush. Do I hate him? Yes, I do. I hate him for what has happened to the country under his watch.

That being said it has nothing to do with the bailout. Frank and Dodd should both be gone too. But if one does not agree with how the bailout is handled what are they supposed to do? I always hear about the blind Bush haters...how about the blind Bush lovers?

But let's try to stay on track and talk about the bailout. We are here because everybody screwed us.

what makes you think that i was referring to you stevie.....& i agree there are people here who blindly like bush because he is a republican...

and fwiw...i am for the bailouts for the various corporations only if the executives are made to be held accountable for their actions & also not be rewarded with "golden parachutes"......

& am against helping people who bought mortgages eventhough they couldn't afford it.....unless they help me with any of my 4 mortgages that i have...because these people are not better citizens than people like me & others who play by the rules & know when to buy or not buy...in other words i am not for rewarding stupidity...

But we are rewarding the Corporations for stupidness. And if the Free Market was used to let these companies fail then you, and me, and everybody who has a mortgage would possibly be helped. It would not belimited to just those who cannot make payments. I agree that is not right.

i agree with you but if we don't help corp. like citibanlk & the others then thousands maybe even millions of people will be unemployed which will lead to panic worldwide.....but imo they can't give these bailouts without throwing the people who got the corps in this position out on the street....

That is what they tell us. But it is not true. Think about it if a bank like Citibank goes under there will still be a need for their services. The void would be filled by another company. Hiring the same people to work for them. If an automaker goes under another company will step up to fill the void. The same people who sold us Iraq are selling us this cash grab.

They will if the price is right. And the Free Market sets the price. I respect your opinon though Al.
