Green Party congressional candidate Steve Fournier just issued this comment on the crash of the global financial system:
“The ‘bailout’ now under consideration by Congress amounts to a vast transfer of wealth to the ‘haves’ from the ‘have-nots.’ A trillion dollars will flow directly into the pockets of people who risked money to make money, many of them Asians, Arabs, and Europeans, and out of the pockets of people who work for it, along with their kids and grandkids, who will have to sweat for at least another two generations to pay it back. If my opponent Congressman John Larson votes for this looting of the treasury or even allows it to advance, he will be answering for it a hundred years from now.”

I agree. I just don't see how this country can afford this sorta bailout and still the War in the MiddleEast. Looks like Bush wants to give us all the shaft one last time before he leaves. GOD Bless America
This is not a one person decision!
Where is Congress on all of this, where have they been?
Let's see if the Obama/Clinton ticket has any ideas...
What treasury?
The government is already 10 trillion dollars in debt, with nothing but IOU's in the Social Security Trust fund.
osama bush destroying the country from the inside out.
Instead of bailing out these crooks why not give each hard working - tax paying american a break? Set up a program to pay off our mortgages or finance our kids college education....
Just a pissed off hard working tax payer....
