Where Are Our Tax Dollars Going in the Government Bailout?

Elizabeth:  Citibank should NEVER have received any money.  It's a company out of Saudi Arabia.  Isn't that were the toilets are made of gold?  Please!  As for my thoughts on the bailout....I think the whole thing stinks.  By bailing anyone out, you have to draw a line somewhere.  And that line is going to feel really unfair to the folks just on the other side of it.  I think we are delaying the inevitable.  The economy crashes now or later.  At least now I am able bodied and able to work. 

Elizabeth, these bailouts are completely getting out of control. The dumbest statement I heard which the lawmakers believe, are that these companies are too big to fail. What a bunch of hooey is that.

Hi Elizabeth,

I never understood why we bailed out banks.  WHy didn't we arrange special loans for consumers so they could pay their bank debts.

All the best!

If throwing money is the new government plan we will all be OK. Some how I don't think that cash going into poorly managed companies is the answer.

Elizabeth- From my stand point.  I will never vote to re-elect anyone who voted for these bailouts?  Where's my stinkin bail out?  Does my congressman want to make my car note for 24 months?  My office payment?  My house note? 

And the fact that they can pass out monies and NOT have to tell the tax payers where they are sending it and how it's being used... ticks me off to no end.  Lack of accountibility got those companies in trouble in the first place. 

If they would just let me be queen for about a month I think I could straighten this country out.

They are right, we would withdrawal our money in the form of a loan to buy houses which would spur the economy. What a concept!
