How come no one asked our public opinion on what to do when the [mostly big guys] investors took their profits and capital gains for all these years?
why ask us now, and then find reasons why they are right to be bailed out [new euphemism being tried is "investment" in failing companies].
Nancy Pelosi [[thank you !!! ] finally spoke UP and said some valid things and then she is easily being blamed, a woman is also easier to attack by all the majority-male- 'investors'-lobbied by more of their own. No Fair !
NO MORE BAILOUTS....we have done too much already
let this financial scene fall apart to reassemble itself in a better paradigm - design - scheme that is less giving to the upper 2% of USA greedy populations and more to the 98% below those.
FEAR MONGERING, by exaggerations and catastrophic depictions...to scare the gullible every-person-pubic to obey and buy into another scheme... who will be going hungry ? how hungry is a better question?
who is going to die because they cant use their credit cards ?
who is going to live in their car because they bought a house they could not pay for or were gullibly sold a quickie with a low-initial and then high interest rate ?
Who teaches them how to buy wisely ? the bail-outers ?
who is going to say "you will lose your jobs" at every single sales pitch to intimidate those who have an [underpaid, 'service' or p.t. ] job, for a while ?
Or who is willing to do the work that some claim the "undocumented illegally entered USA" only can do. Who has become so fancy that they can't do 'ordinary' or dirt-garden-construction- waitressing work ? Who said we cant do low level factory work 'any more' ? why not ? how haughty have "we" become ? really ?
who is need to be rescued from their high expectations that dont meet reality any more.
Yes, the American Dream of moving UP UP and HIgher still has been a false one for a longer time than anyone wanted to admit.
But poverty ? Who has seen real poverty and yet many of those do not just 'suffer' but live it as well as those who think they own-the-world.
Who is saving whom from what ? What / where is self-discipline ?
What is sharing and being fair, any more ?
Who is acting Response-ability responsibily and not asking someone else to carry them because they say they "cant".
Who said they can't ? Can't Move UP ?
or Can't live on what they have, earn, share, barter, trade, work ?
Let's not all fall for the 'sales job', "snow job", fake threats and end-of=the-world-is-coming-IF YOU DONT DO WHAT WE SAY.....

Hard working American's do not buy the LIE.
We were forced to bail out the mistakes and crimes of Washington and Wall Street.
The new "pretty" words and spin will not change that fact.

the more fear that was propagandized and repeated in angry and scary tonesin all media, the more -
but not most- not the majority USA population that speaks aloud -
were letting their congress people vote for the financial interests.
Who was "forced" to do what ? Who was NOT given information that was available *Before* about bailouts done already that were not openly announced ? Who is financing whom in these laws as passed ?
Why could the public not access their congresspeople by email or phone the day before the 2nd vote ? huh??? what kind of representation is that ?
the threats were explicit and repeated endless by those who have a lot of FREE access to all M$M mass media... telling us in every way that 'They' will do whatever it takes...what they want...what they think....what is at Our cost...what was not thought-out,
[or was it ? ] , not explained, not verified as actually helpful.... and then was not helpful either... to our savings...and living standards.
so they now say "give us time" just as they said before "give us your trust" and "give us your money" and "buy from us" too...
"And 'They" are a nebulous hidden un-transparent few & yet many - who have and may still profit and gain and take advantage of what those little people=public cannot.
The ones shouting threats at us from microphones in front of cameras are not the only or main actors in this disastrous game of gambling bailouts.
Repeat: Look at the big polls results Before each vote was taken - and see what the Public said it wanted. Then look at how congress voted, Democraticonos even more than the Rethugglicans.
It was not the will of the people, or the shenanigans of the majority of the USA citizens that created, sustained, bought into all the financial games. Even the reputable 'rating companies' played into it [neglectfully or deliberately, who cares at this point. They said, yes, this deserves an "A" or "AAAAAA" without that being so.]
anyhow, we are sinking, sunk, drowned, and gurgling for the left over bit of air to breath life ...with that paper worthless dollar we have so carefully saved and believed in. oh well...
whatever....
the power has long ago been removed from our shakey hands....and it is just more apparent to us now.
we have been 'forced' and 'conned' and deceived. We still are.
