Why should the American Public bailout the Banks and Financial Institutions?
The legislation the administration is proposing and promoting would have the government buy bad mortgages and other deficient assets held by troubled financial institutions. Why should the American Public subsidize a bunch of bad mortgages? I should the American Public buy a bunch of bad mortgages so the banks that initially bought of made these mortgages be let off of the hook?

We are only a few weeks away from ALL Credit Cards being refused ..

Could you cope ?? No more Credit (Cards), no more Overdrafts .. no more Loans ..

PS Don'rt say 'I'll pay cash ' .. there won't be any in the Cash Machines (and your Bank won't give you any unless you actually have money in your account) ... and I invite you to guess exactly how many people will be accepting Cheques ..

Hi, I should say its a very constructive and mindful question you have just ask, first the bailout was technically correct to the Government of US, second it will cause a stir in the various Stock Exchanges, Financial & Mortgages Companies in the global arena.Third, the citizens of America will not be happy about it initially, fourthly, America may not get out of the recession early if not for the bailout handed out. And still counting...

the main reason to do it is that we are more connected to each other than we might realize or like. the basic reason to go for this is that the average american stands a lot more to lose here than they might realize.

we, the public rely on these institutions, even if all we have are a car and a house.

when AIG got bailed out ($85 bln) the reason the money was spent was that AIG actually is the company that maintains money market investments. the 'cash' part of the etrade account or even sometimes your checking account are uninsured money markets. if that had disappeared about a third of us could have lost a lot of our savings that we had thought was safe because there were not in stocks.

pension funds and iras and 401ks usually use money market funds. this would have punished people who had _saved_ money and had no debt. that would have been a disaster

similarly in real estate, the price of homes is determined partly by how easy it is to get the money to buy your home from you. if bank mortgage loans become scarce (as they would if all this debt just goes bye bye) then homes would only be available to people who can pay cash for them. this would have really upset the avg american consumer.

just imagine not being able to get a loan for a car or a credit card - you can't get to work, pay your tuition for college. your employer can't get a loan to make pay the payroll. it could be crazy bad.

although its true that the price would drop enormously and some folks would make out like bandits, most of us would end up renting from the few people with cash and so the average american would be much worse off then they are today...

thats not to say just any deal is going to save the economy, but it does seem like we have to do something.

There will be no bailout unless they can be assured that:
1. The banks and mortgage company CEOs won't be held responsible for the bad loans
2. These same CEOs will be assured of their salaries, benefits and severance packages
3. The taxpayer (you and me) will foot the bill

Because yesterday we lost 1.2 trillion dollars in the stock market. Loans will become very hard to get, car loans, mortgages, credit cards and student loans. We could easily end up in a depression like in the 20's and 20's. Unemployment would rise since the banks will close and won't need to have the workers. When people are out of work they spend less money. Since they spend less money the stores and companies that make goods will out of business. So their employees will be out of work. The cycle goes on and on and on.
