Bailouts

My money - if it goes to corrupt business CEO's with huge bonuses, it is better than going to funding war.

The Auto Industry - crocodile tears - oh, poor me! I got fuel efficiency tax breaks, got to get my SUVs to be rated as Trucks so I can avoid innovation on pollution, I actually increased the waste of foreign oil over the past years since the last Oil Embargo! Whoo-hoo! GM, Ford, and Chrysler ripped off America for forty years, and they want MY money?! We reward rich idiots.

Financial Service Industry - Zero down, Interest Only loans - F$%^ them. Heroin/Cocaine dealers - hey, want a snort? The American Dream (flawed as it is) with Burger King pricing! [later, you pay for the Kobe Beef Steak that made that burger, even if it was not real Kobe beef]

The suckers that went for the inflated crap are as responsible as the criminals that suckered them.

What happened to American Honesty - is that really a trait we possesssssss?
What happened to American Faith? Screw the poor, screw the proletariat, feed the rich? Let Churches fund helping the poor. 20% of American's are "Poor" - under the poverty line. ONE OF FIVE! One Quarter of Children go to bed hungry regularly - this is America?

Bail out Auto makers - is that American? They outsource to other countries - are we considering bailing out American CEOs, American Companies, American Workers, or...are we enriching foreign investors, funding foreign investments, funding foreign workers? Is GM a Japanese company, or an American one.

Who cares about America in a Global Economy? If America sucks, does it really matter if you investments are in another country? If we have such a National Debt that we are owned by everyone else, how loyal should you be to a Country that is giving itself away?

Innovation. Where have we forgotten our strength?
