$700 Billion Dollar Bail out plan.......?

Why did the Government have to publicize such a huge plan?

In my own opinion politics is becoming a reality show. If they (Govt) just bailed these corporations out behind closed doors I believe the people of the United States would not be in this state of panic or worry.

What are your thoughts about this bail out plan but more specifically the PUBLICATION of it and allowing the Media to be a tremendous impact on it?

    It was too big.... although they practically did it with Washington Mutual you didn't hear about that until it was a done deal... but with everything caving in at once it would have been impossible for them to not divulge a 700 Billion dollar bail out plan...

    Taking people's money and not telling them how it is being used is a political system that is used in some countries. A democracy, though, is supposed to be rule by the people, and in our case it is done through other people such as the president, senators, representatives, and so on. These people are supposed to be working for YOU, not the other way around. Since YOU are in charge, don't you want to know how your money is being spent? I do.
