It is the likes of John McCain that slowed the process, created some arguments and generated conversation instead of just cutting a check and moving on with the election. Obama has not said a darn thing either other than what we want to hear....tax cuts. Just another political ploy. I know as well as the rest of America knows, there are no tax cuts coming. It is a pipe dream.

Furthermore, why am I who pays his mortgage on time have to bail out the banks and people who have lived beyond their means? Why are we rewarding those that ran credit cards up and fell behind in their mortgage? Why does my neighbor who had not made a house payment in 6 months have a large screen TV and a brand new SUV in the driveway? Why are they booking a cruise? Where the hell is my bail out for doing the right thing? Where is my reward? Why am I getting screwed by meeting my responsibilities? T


The good old Dems want to cut a check in three nano seconds without taking a second look. Screw it! What do they care? They don't. Per Biden....it must must be my "Patriotic duty". Well you know what, I do not feel very patriotic bailing out bums and rewarding those who conduct poor business practices. So, you know what, I'm glad John has put some reigns to the quick to cut check on the tax payors backs. It is obsurd that I as a tax payer has to produce cash for the bail out. Where is my reward for doing the right thing? Sometimes I think you look at America with rose colored glasses.

I did not defend the 700 billion thing, I just commented on McCain that both by assessement of your american major news as well as german and British commentators has made an extremely unpositive figure, and I said that this falls in place with that whenever I read or heared of him commenting on economics he gave the impression to be anything but bright concerning economic matters. however, it is true that I would like to see that aid fond if it is of benefit for foreign economies as well, so that there is at least some kind of compensation that America has brought over economies in all the world by having bitterly fought against any kind of protective measures, and stubbornly insisting on that only an unregulated market is a good market. Well, we see the madness in that assessement now, and even over here we need to pay the price for that stubborness and economic arrogance, in loss of econo,mic growth, turning into a recession, in lost state tax incomes, an massive loss of jobs and families in misery. - I only wish there would be a way to separate american tax payers that support unregulated, ultra-liberal market philosopphy from those that understand that a certain minimum of regulation (as little as possibole but as much as needed) is vital, and have only the first needing to pay with their taxes for the logical consequences of that self-destructive philosophy. But of course, that is utopic. But it would be nice to have this kind of justice getting installed by some kind fairy. Also, i remember it different from your claim that again the evil bad democrats are guilty of having wanted that aid package as the first ones. I remember very clearly that it was circles around the government mentioning it first, Paulson, supported by bernanke. At the personal interest of Paulson to save his former employer, his former colleagues and his own fortune, I already ha dcommented in another thread. By their desire, the high risk speculations and casion games of bankers would be justfied and proven right in rerstrospective, if public taxes now would be spent to pay for their deal'S implicit risks and failures. - and it was not the government demanding as the first ones that managers should be held responsible with their private welalth and wages for the mess they created.
