You lost my vote! Come November, I hope you and Feinstein find yourselves out on you butts, looking for work like the rest of us…..

Senators,
Save banks and big corporations so they can lend our own money back to us so it can “trickle down”, and devalue the existing money we have in our pocket as well. Nice job.

Next time, pour oil all over us and light a match.

Puppets…..

Sarah WHO ? and Jessica V. Cortez,

Both of you hit the nail right on the head. This presidential campaign has turned into the big false debate.

“Counrty First” and “Change”… “Yes We Can” and “Straight Talk”… Who are these people kidding?

For being the best Country on Earth, our choices for President sure are limited!

Boxer and Feinstein both lack political fortitude. This, coupled with condescending, fear-provoking tones aimed at Californians merits their farewell.

They’ve lost my vote, along with Obama (& McCain).

I support Nader 2008. Enough is enough.

Sad to admit – but both the Democratic and Republican candidates have completely tipped their hands to the American public.

That neither has come out “in front” against this plan tells me that McCain is neither a Maverick and Obama has no other creative thought in his body except to go along.

Heck – even if they simply voted against the bailout would have positioned their respective campaigns as being somehow different – irrespective of whether or not they had a solution.

That neither of them has siezed this political highground speaks volumes about the next four years we have to look forward to.

Too many sheep in Washington. They all think they’re smarter than the people they represent, and yet continue to be led down the same old path, and grabbing all the pork they can hold onto. DISGUSTING.

Sorry but the argument that she knows better that the taxpayers when Congress refused to invite any other economists to testify is a lie. Why didn’t they? Well over 200 of them (including a couple Nobel peace prize winners) would have said…this won’t work. The International Monetary Fund did a study which shows these types of bailouts don’t work. But if you don’t show any alternatives you can keep saying, “It is this or nothing”. Boxer and Feinstein may have just helped start a recession.

No you say. This bill will solve the problems. No…it simply is to try to restore confidence. Think about that word…a subjective experience. Nothing tangible. Yep. Banks have the money to lend…they either choose to or not. Now imagine you are a bank. You have bought some risky loan products and now can’t sell them to anyone else. Paulson starts talking to Wall Street (but we don’t see that conversation) and offers to broker a deal. The markets freeze up waiting for the government bailout. It is a self-serving prophecy; the credit lines have become more difficult since Bush/Paulson brought this up. If we say No! and then actually come up with something that does not give taxpayers money to Wall Street we can get rid of the illiquid assets.

Have you noticed that Wall Street is really having to give up anything? No new regulations or restrictions. No limits on the types of loans that got them here? This is a farce folks. Call you representative…say no and say you will vote against them.

I do not profess to be a math genius, but there appears to be a more appropriate way to settle the emensely disturbing financial conflict we are faced with, at this time. Back in the mid 1970′s, the banks gave us much higher interest rates on our savings. That obviously rendered more money into our savings accounts. It helped in building a healthy America. If there’s little to no money to circulate, America will plummet into financial disaster. It was an era when we could write off credit card and automobile interests. This is how ‘main street’ can share in the profits.
