You should read some books about cronyism, protectionism and pure corruption between Wall Street and Washington!
We here in the USA are so naive and gullible.
The top 2% of the country quadrupled their wealth under Cheney/Bush.
The other 98% lost 25% of their combined wealth.
The bail out is another way to move money from the average tax payer to the rich, no questions asked.
We went through Enron in 2001 and nobody learned a thing. This bailout will set the stage for more Enron's, WAMU's and AIG's. |

No- it's a bail out. Guess who has been bailed out? Not you. |

It is like blowing on a 3rd degree burn.
Some estimates have been a 6 month delay on more imminent financial collapse.
Instead of giving the money to the wall street firms that created it let's give it to every american citizen an do the Trickle up vs the assinine idea of a trickle down.
Refund our taxes for the past five years, and have it go first of all to any debt. That would help the wall street firms. Imagine what people would do with the money that didn't have any debt.
This process fails miserably to solve the problem, which is the dire financial condition of the average American household.
The trillions of dollars being printed out of thin air should be going to each and every household in America , not just Wall Street. If so, Wall Street would benefit because their toxic assets would metamorphose into quality assets as the American household pays off its debts (cash to Wall Street). But what would you expect when the Treasury Secretary authoring this plan is the former Chairman of the largest Wall Street firm in America , Goldman Sachs, which also happens to be a surrogate for the Plunge Protection Team. The Plunge protection team keeps markets from free falling in the US by using treasury dollars to buy in the markets........ Because the plan fails to bailout the American household, it will all fail — period. But, fail with an even higher cost of living with inflation soaring.
It is just foolish to trust the government and the wall street firms. Lets empower the US citizens, get them out of debt, change our taxation system to a flat sales tax and abolish income and property taxes.
The US citizen is what is important and stablizing the household. Let the garbage in wallstreet settle as it has to.

It is more like building a floor to stop a falling object. In theory it should work, but the problem is the mechanism that caused it is still in place. Mark to Market accounting is now under the SEC, however, it was the SEC's refusal to enforce the laws that was the last failure in the chain of events in the first place.
Now, with mechanisms to revalue mortgages that people could not afford in the first place, we risk continued devaluation of the housing market freshly created by the cure.
It is going to be interesting, but one thing is for sure. I'll never, ever vote for another democrat for as long as I live. |

This bail out plan is to restore the US financial market back to health so that it remain as the the world financial centre for investors. |

It just might be. Both republicans and democrats say that the $700b is just a guess. In business, the company would be asked to present numbers on how they came to the $700B. They would be asked to come back with more than one alternative, then they would be sent back to sharpen their pencil. In gov't, they ask, give, and add more to it. |
