Czuch: They think that they are doing a good thing by all the "big brother" is taking care of you nonsense. Spend, create huge committes that will dole out the money (and waste most of it) and then they can say what a good job they are doing for the people.
Bush lost sight of the deeper conservative principles when he endorced the bail out packages. The economy doens't need help. It needs the incompetent legislators to keep out of it. Where were those idiots (including Bush) when the banks and investment firms were stealing the people blind? And now the stupid banks are forclosing on people. Duh. Ummmmm how about giving people who can't afford high interest loans lower interest loans so they can actually pay the banks back? Banks still make money and people keep their homes.
Now the damage is done. They want to fix the mess we're in (the US is broke) and so what do they do? They give money to the crooks with little or no accountability (and the crooks are asking for more) but they are still kicking people out of their homes, paying their stock holders, and one financial institution tried to purchase a new private jet for 15 million. Yeah, they got severl billion in bailout money. They cancelled the purchase.
Hopefully the democrats won't be able to ruin the country entirely until we can get some competent republicans into office. The dems are currently taking us further down the road to sure disaster.
And while I'm at it, let's have the new president appoint someone in charge of the economy fix that can't even figure out turbo tax!
