The "bailout", is it not just the ultimate blank check for known thieves?

Its a band-aid for a much deeper problem. The economy has become nothing more than an artificial number. There is no accountability anymore. If I go broke, do you think someone will bail me out. Hell no. But when a multi-billion dollar corporation goes broke, just print up some fake money and pretend there is no problem. I predict inflation will skyrocket in the next 10 years, and we have greed to thank for that.

I'll tell you what good is coming from it.

At the moment each American is going to have to pay, what, $5000 in tax for this bailout. If this bill had not been passed in the next year we would see even more people losing their jobs, their homes, their businesses. I'd rather loose a few thousand than the few hundred thousand i could potentially lose otherwise.

It is a blank check to YOURS & MY wallets. They get us strapped on with this one, just imagine what else they have lurking around the corner! Here's the scoop...

(1) Come this election, vote ALL your incumbents(save Ron Paul as he's on Americas side!) out of office. Don't worry, there'll be a bazillion replacements standing in line to choose from!

(2) INSTRUCT your NEWLY elected fed officials that we need to fire the fed reserve(IRS gets a free ride with em too!)) & have congress coin our currency as our constitution states!

(3) INSTRUCT your NEWLY elected fed officials that if they appreciate being able to SERVE YOU AS YOUR EMPLOYEE, & want to keep their job THAT YOU GAVE THEM, that they best be cracking at getting a gold standard on our newly printed "golden certificates" that are replacing the bogus fiat FRN's(fed reserve notes) that are going south with the fed reserve!

That's a start to the cure. Of course there's more, BUT, if we ever get to this part mentioned above America will be coming out of her illness that has inflicted her for like near eighty years now.

Funny everyone thinks Bush is a fool but he can suck billions out of us . Makes you wonder who the fool really is doesn't it . He knew what he was doing in fact they all did they just had to put on a show for the people . This way they can say its what the people wanted and needed . True no loans no money going out they had us in a corner what can you do .

keep in mind the bill gave the treasury of the secretary and the fed chairman the rights to buy more trouble assets without congress approval.

No, I don't think its a blank check. I think the original proposal was exactly that - a blank check with zero oversight or accountability.

It is totally a blank check

yes it's a blank check which could go up to a trillion dollar if not more. America going to hell!
