If not, what would be your Solution?

There are so many people who don't agree with this.  Why should the Government continue to give bailouts?  We know the pros and cons of all this.  Those reasons I won't go into because they've all been discussed already.  The people did receive help last year, with money that was supposed to be used to spread into our local areas so that it would boost our economy.  That didn't work.  Most people did the best thing, took care of bills.  Some did spend. Some did half and half, paid bills, possibly buy that big TV, which was also being reasonable!

Everyday I wake up I hear of so many jobs being lost, people being laid off, everyday!  I wondered too if some companies weren't using this economy as an excuse to just get rid of people?  I know that isn't a good way to think, but geech, it's really so awful what is going and everyone is scared!

Companies need help, people need help, what is the solution?  Is there a perfect one?  No.  Because no matter what is done, there will be a lot of finger pointing and blames all around as to why this shouldn't have been done.

 

My reasoning for bailouts for the American People is that lots of people are in over their heads.  They cannot move forward, they continue to slide backwards.  Not just those who got themselves in trouble of their own accord, but even those people who did what they were supposed to do are now in trouble! 

My thinking is that if people were given enough to take care of say, at least 50% of their debts, then that would be a major relief, and perhaps then, they could move forward.  Is that being too naive in thinking?  Perhaps.  Is the Government responsible for the debts its people created?  Of course not!  But let us look at what this could do for each person in the long term. People continue to be less confident because of the economy. 

A small stimulus check didn't do it the last time, and won't do it now. Because people are even further in debt than they were before!  They need a significant amount that will help to dig them out of the ditch they are in!  I know that some people won't be mindful and do the right thing for themselves, and if they don't, then they continue to be idiots!  But why should those who really need the help be denied just because of these few?  This help should be given to all who need it, including businesses.

The auto industry received their bailouts, the banks did too.  Then why shouldn't the American people should get theirs too!

Thank you but I would rather have made my own money rather than dipping into my neighbors pockets for the money they earned.

Government "bailouts" is just another way to steal from successful people and business and give it to those who have been unable to manage themselves.

I wonder how things would change if those that were giving money had to write a weekly check and those that were recieving had to get in a handout line.

Bottom line...I've seen how the rich steal in the past year or so. I refuse to boo-hoo for them another minute.
Bullshit.  The rich don't steal in any degree to which they are stolen from (by the feds).

The rich aren't some group of back-of-the-restaraunt club trying to rob the poor innocents.  For the most part the rich are the ones making and building and busting thier asses to get ahead.  Look at the statistics on who are teh rich and what do they do.  Then look at who pays the most taxes.  The poor are already getting a bailout on the back of all taxpayers; the rich most of all.

My goal is to be rich someday.  I'll work my ass off to get there.  I'll have to balance what is legal for me to do and what I am morally guided to do within those laws  to get there.  And once I am there I want to have teh fredom and ability to give back to society without the bunglers in Washinton getting in my way by giving "bailouts" to industry or peopel that can't manage their OWN money let alone MORE of MY money.

Bailouts are nothing more than the politicians helping out their major campaign contributers, which is pretty much all they ever do anyway. "We The People" don't matter at all to those people and will never see any real help from that pack of bastards.

I think most people realize this now.  All that has come to past, and will continue to be realized as we learn more about the going on's or dealings in the big government!  We the people are holding them more accountable!

 

Government "bailouts" is just another way to steal from successful people and business and give it to those who have been unable to manage themselves.

Yes, the successful working people who all pay taxes if they work a certain amount annually.  Not just the wealthy and super wealthy.

 

Pfft @ taking from the rich, it's gonna happen anyway.

Anyone who has more than their neighbour is rich!  That much we've all discussed and it's often agreed to, even on this site.

Yes and true for the ones who do it honestly!  But there are those who do steal from everyone to get there!  And there are those who only give away cash when they know they will get something from it, or it isn't coming from their own pockets! So it is some not all!

 

My goal is to be rich someday. I'll work my ass off to get there. I'll have to balance what is legal for me to do and what I am morally guided to do within those laws to get there. And once I am there I want to have teh fredom and ability to give back to society without the bunglers in Washinton getting in my way by giving "bailouts" to industry or peopel that can't manage their OWN money let alone MORE of MY money.

Good luck with your plans and don;t let anything or anyone stop you!

 

Whew. That felt good.

Whohooo!

True. But it is such ann awful way to learn mistakes by what they do wrong!

50 billion...gone, with not a thing to show for it other than Madoff's fat and satisfied face.

Another 350 billion up in smoke, paid to bankers who can't account for a dime of it.

Who's stealing from who here?

At least when i pay my taxes, I get a military, I get roads, I get a retirement/disability plan.

What have Bernie's clients gotten?  What's happened to the savings and investments people had in those banks?
One person (or even many) does not make a majority.

I never claimed that rich people don't steal (or the poor, or blacks or whites or men or women or whatever).  I claim that you cannot say that "The Rich", as a class, steal.  [And using loop-holes is not stealing; it's maximizing the law in your favor . . a smart thing to do to get and stay rich).

     new to your posting web-site

         I'm 53 years old, here is what i think  Our great and almighty Gov. is sending us bull crap

it only purpose is to help " we the people "  fat chance  I say and here's why ?  all my life.  I here how the eldly will be help-ed

there no more middle class and the poor will always be poor.  We the people have have grown, I think since ever i could rememberwe the people have been paying out for programs to help  "we the people " But still no one group aparently not where or what is really being done to help. Good taxpaying men and women are paying sorry, being force to pay again and again. One man said" we have been paying  for auto's for a hundred years, the Gov. pays into electric, and water...all for us " we the people"  so we pay and pay out and give and give out and many us who fall into this paying and given  have no idea why, where to whom all this money goes and is be spent or given ,hell some of this money is paying for ellegal drugs and or ellegal stuff even flying  ship that no one can tell what the hell is happening.   I want to make a point  mainly about 

BAILOUTS:   IF THE MONEY, OR CASH MONEY WAS TO PERHAPS INTO regular normal folk. In case it were to happen "not likely"  but in case  say  a reasonal amount of money say $ 300.000.00 dollars  , have taxing paying people fill out a form and mention where this money could be spent in given maybe a list say making a list of 5 large bills that could be paid.. an exsample would be small home loan, child support, college,all credit cards, and opening a saving account.... this would be a way to put money back into a broken Goverment run programs with some much pork it be crasy!  Now say there is 300 million people in the USA  ,then say 100 million peopleown homes and pay taxs and have these wonderful bills reach no one wants us to payoff no in the short term,so it seem to me everyone around us "we the people " really want is to control us and not really help. I believe with out this control more and more USA people could makes things worst.. we already no Gov. is having problems, well if the was to be this wonderful bailout for "we the people " would it not make more jobs ,make more compaines, more programs, more product perhaps, in General more of everything and let say only 20% of these " we the people" was to make good on there Goverment bailout money programs, would it not be making the so called Goverment than have to help manage these new idea's and new jobs, so than what ,is this the American dream or waste full pork, amd did we make  it happen I say if you all can make mistakes with our money and can't control it. please give us "we the people " a chance put your confidents in us " we the people " and see us threw to make good back us up for once , the least you can do is support idea's that make us as "we the people " idea can into it.. My opinion is the Gov. is breaking our back bone ,kill real people who care and have deep respect, and have earned that american dream that we all thought we here for.  please stop killing us using our own money for killing " ever heard of " save the children " people with money have lost the real scope of how they become rich an block out the little vow never to be poor not realizeing " it much more harder to become when so many vow to keep you poor" so stands before the tax man, and who vows to pay his taxs after if he were to start rec'ding his bailout money and start paying his income tax,, who stands for that American dream. I think better to live/ or die with some money either way I choose to die with enough money if I was to choose , mean to say my kids think of this our kids will be paying for life stlye there sweep is paying for it , were living off our kids for many years already.  I demand our bailout Big Mr. Goverment people we all can fill out those forms for your records, Please we need it, some of us are going to die very poor and so hurt inside becoz, all this money . and last word thinking you help out the businesses who are not asking or needing this hands out, 5 yrs from now they becoming for more, and if your thinking so will we at least it won't cost billions or trillions x's how many did you need now ?  600.000> people lost jobs in January 2009 ,1 month  I say give them 2 million each, for keeping there jobs this long , let me see 600.000 people muiltple by 2  equals 1.2 billion muiltple by let see we have 100 million people who need bailouts money  say we give to make this easy  1 million each is one billion dollars say it runs a bit over. you no millions , trillions or higher don't part of or lots of parts of die poor, after all our father fought WAR 1, WW2 AND MANY OTHERS  some if they could would die still today for this country and the Gov. " we the people " are not all bad, But bad times makes us not so happy if we all were to become a bit more confident with our own bank accounts send the forms we ready to serve were all happy to pay back money we owe, it makes us happy when we are part of a group together we stand , help us " we the people " first then, question is would all of us be to much Goverment for you all?

thank you

 let stand together and win !

Trackmac, I appreciate your views, some part unclear, but I get the gist of it!  It is difficult for so many of us who feel as if there is no soft landing for us, the struggle to stay afloat is getting more difficult for many of us who thought we had it together.  Lets hope that soon we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
