Cindy - Well said. I'm happy to be the first to comment and to also get my name on the top of your bailout list. My 401k is gone, my IRA is gone, all my buyers are gone and I am currently living off my $600.00 stimulus check. Something needs to happen soon :-(

Unfortunately, people voted in the politicians who are looking out for themselves. These large companies contribute to their campaigns. Credit card companies were given a make believe rule change. The interest rates were still not capped. In 1994, they couldn't charge more than 18%. They can still raise your rates, and hit you with late fees. It is just 10 days later than it was. Why has that not been brought back to save consumers? We do have the opportunity to vote them out. The US Congress is up for re-election next year. Vote them out! Vote people in who will remember who put them there. Most of them have just been in the office too long, and have forgotten! We need, fresh, honest and hungry policitians!

It is not always wise or better to replace a known quantity with an unknown. We often think or say that anyone has to be better than the current officeholder. That's what the people in Illinois thought when they elected a Governor who promised that he would clean up the office and bring credibility to the state. Now, his wife is on a rality show, and he may be worse than the guy he replaced.
Truth is that government is almost never the solution to pain and suffering of the individual. Buy stock in the companies that are getting bailed out, and profit from their future success.
Mike, That's a good spin on it:) Thanks, I always try to look for the positive! Our US Congress has people working for us who have just been there, too long. They are not limited to 2 terms. They certainly do have the advantage there. Sorry for your troubles with your Governor. We had them here in Connecticut, too. We had Governor John Rowland. Short jail term and he is back at work in the town where he grew up. Our present Governor, Governor M. Jodi Rell is awesome. So, for us, it worked out very well.
