Why not fix the problem?

I think once we cease dumping millions upon millions of tax dollars into a region that doesn't want us there, and that we're not helping anyway, we'll be better off.

I'm sick of paying for our soldiers to die.

No it really isn't that hard. The Fed should have told the Banks to drop the interest rate on all their held mortgages to a fixed 3% if they took bailout money. That would have saved people hundreds per month, would have let those that owed more on their house than it was worth to remain in the house and still let the banks make a profit. I agree that they should do more to prevent companies from moving operations overseas to save on labor costs, possibly by raising taxes on US companies brining finished products into the US.

1. Agree with you 100%

2. A bit trickier. Where in the Constitution does the US Government have the power to dictate to private industry how it is to behave? It's not there. Now, if Company X accepts bailout money, that's different. As long as the terms are dictated before the money is taken.

1. by doing that, you raise prices - which people don't want to pay - and raise inflation.

2. That would effectively destroy the banks. They are depending on that high interest coming in. They expected it coming in and had borrowed money against that level of income. By reducing their income, you effectively make them insolvent.

No, it's not. I didn't major in economics but I know you don't fix debt by piling on 10x more.

no its not, somebody please explain that to Obama and the peanut gallery.
