The "bailout" is the wrong term. It is a giveaway. This giveaway will not solve the problem either. You may have noticed in the last week since the giveaway was instated, the market has tanked! This is because investors know that the shadow mortgage derivate market is a bubble far too large for the government to buy out. This was a scheme crafted by a corporate CEO that is staffing a high position of appointed office in the Bush administration. Henry Paulson is now in a position to make himself and his friends considerably wealthier. In exchange, he is screwing the United States of America.

This multi trillion dollar giveaway is being put on the national credit card. This will cost trillions of dollars, and will serve to inflate the currency. There isn't some vault with hundreds of billions of dollars on hand for the government to give to banks. No. Instead this is money that is created as Treasury Debt, monetized when printed by the Federal Reserve. This does two things. First it adds to the national debt, which we have to pay interest on every year. Its already a large portion of the federal budget. Secondly, printing all this money debases the currency. This creates inflation and reduces the purchasing power of the dollar. All of this happened as a result of unrestrained greed on Wall Street. It came with the help of a corrupt Congress and a Corporate run media system that protects its corporate advertisers in the financial system.

The only solution is to vote for a third party candidate. Do not fool yourself into thinking that a democrap or rethuglican candidate will fix this problem. We are witnessing the end of an era in our financial history, its time our politicians start working for the people instead of corporate elites on Wall Street. Nader is really the only candidate speaking forcefully on the most important issue of our time. Corporate servitude, it doesn't work, it's got to end. Do your part this November.

  • If America wants to de-polarize, and reform Congress, then we need to eliminate the gerrymandering of voting districts. Entrenched, representative incumbents, of both parties have gamed the system. Also campaign finance reform must be meanigfully enacted. Further, a viable third party, representing the populace middle, needs to emerge and not be quashed by the two party, collusive monopoly. If times get tough enough, then folks might switch off American Idol to C-SPAN, and become engaged. OR NWO

  • Totally agree - vote the incumbents out - this year, next vote - from now on - don't let the bastards become the lifer corporate whores - catering to them for the luxuries they get. Both Parties - vote one out then the other - unsettle em.
