     The idea of spending BILLIONS to just administrate bailout monies just infuriates me. Now, the American people can bailout some of these industries ON THEIR OWN! Instead of deciding who and when someone should get the funds, give it to us! I buy a product manufactured in America, I get a break on my taxes. Is it fair? Who cares! Many countries have stringent trading practices. But that is not the point, if companies are failing, give me an incentive to buy their product. If I do not want it I'll go elsewhere, but, if it is apples to apples I'll take the tax break. You can't tell me this would cost more than a complete bailout. The companies will earn more money, THEY will pay more taxes, YOU get a tax break that will probably be pennies on the dollar for what a bailout costs. The administrative costs to produce this list is also pennies on the dollar. Too easy? Maybe so, but remember how government often makes situations more difficult than they can be. There is money in them there hills folks. Simplify, rectify, clarify, tell us something that is easy and an incentive to buy American. Am I wrong or is this just too easy????

I agree the bailout is an uncreative idea. Perhaps it's time for these companies to fail and make room for new companies with new ideas. If that money were redistributed to the public new ideas could be launched, new companies could be built and new employment opportunities would exist.

You don't expect the government to do the logical thing, do you? There are much better ways for the government to be spending OUR money, but they seemed to be unable to see beyond the nearest lobbyist.

Robin - If you offer an incentive and the companies still fail then it was meant to be

John - I am more upset with the administrative on and on spending just to put a plan in place Keep It Simple Stupid

What I don't understand about the whole bailout deal is......  Everyone talks about these billions of dollars like the government actually has cash reserves.   The government has credit backed by there ability to tax US.  So if the government keeps going into debt to bailout everyone.  At some point it will have to raise taxes or go bankrupt or both.....  So I would just love to see no more bails and let the private sector work.  Probably asking too much.   Happy Holidays

Mark - Why does a tax break instead of handing out money seem far fetched? Happy Holidays to you!

Hi Frank and Jodi

The United States has the capacity and the work force to manufacture more goods in the country, let's get back to make in America.

Good luck and success.

As you said, too easy and it would require common sense. . . . .  I always wonder, if the real estate bubble started this whole mess we are in, why not fix this first?

Anne - I'm afraid common sense does not apply to gov, no money in it. Agreed about real estate, unfortunate some market corrections had to take place
