What a mess!

Well, the stock market didn't reflect this wonderful 700 billion bail out this marning! I thought the market would be up but what I see is Citigroup group buying some of Wachovia. I hear GE is just able to pay dividends. Some GE capital is lessening. GE wons some commercial state property and is not getting their payments.

Sign of the times: Now we are seeing hints on line about living "cheaper" and "saving" here and there. We can't spend if the government takes all of our money and gives it to the already rich in bail outs. What about our bail outs - jerks in Washington. What trickle down, Mr. Reagan - that never worked! Yet beginning with Reagan and beyond they deregulated banks and corporations to allow them to do whatever they wanted - which pretty much ended up them filling their pockets and ripping off consumers.

I hear that the FBI is investigating some of these banking failures and bail outs even though the government didn't recommend it. Enron got investigated and some heads fell but Ken Lay conveniently died right before his trial was to begin and he was likely to drag in his buddies in the White House. Yeah, right! He died - or he is sitting on a paradise island spending some of that money. I don't trust the media because that article was sure short stating that Lay died of a heart attack. Makes one wonder - doesn't it?

We need money flow in this country. We need jobs. Bill Clinton said all money went into housing in 2001 when that extra money should have been invested in solar power, wind power, water power and "green" jobs.

The Paulson plan is a Wall Street bail out not anything for the rest of the nation's mainstreet. Spending is weak. Small businesses are not given any credit to expand their businesses. This government is so intense in helping the rich guys but not bothering with the small businessman or helping out people make their house payments. So what's with that? It's it is OUR money in the first place! But, hopefully, this 700 billion is also a main street bail out too! Hey, people, if we can't pay taxes just who is going to pay for that 700 billion hand out for the greedy crooks who got themselves into this mess! We definitely need a change in Washington! There was a time when a months' wages would make our house payment, now it's half a month's wages! Our economy needs desparate help and we definitely need change. Giving lobbyist free rein and deregulation was a huge mistake. And I wonder now if the 700 billion will indeed be over sighted or was that just lip service?

Vote for Obama! We need some brains to run this country not some corporate lobbyist knuckhead puppets. And just who is Sarah Palin? Scary! Just think if McCain is elected and he likely will be because "they" will see to it, say McCain dies guess what we'll have running the country then: A gun totting, speaks in tongue, airhead, strictly pro-life in charge! Not good! She is pro-life no matter if pregnancy is in the case of brutal rape or incest. What a cold animal she is!
