What does the average American think of the 700 billion theft you goverment is planning

most don't think...that's the problem.

They are saying most of the money will be re-couped...
So tell the dumbfucks in Europe to mind their own business
and they really should be more concerned with Sharia Law.

Well first of all, $700billion is not enough money. They'll be asking for more soon.

Most of us are pretty pissed. I'm trying to figure out how to not pay for my house. Last year a court in Ohio ruled in favor of people who's houses were being foreclosed, when the bank couldn't prove that the bank owned the house. The court threw the cases out, and the people got to keep their homes.

I'm not being forclosed on, but I don't want to pay anymore. Not when they are handing out Billions to rich rich people so that they don't have to face their mistakes, brought on by greed vanity and lust for power.

I'm working with an attorney, and hopefully by next summer I'll have my own bailout going. My mortgage is through Washinton Mutual, and if they can't prove that they hold the mortgage, I'm not paying. Working on what the lawsuit will be. I'm planning on suing.

Well, this does affect us in a great way to you know.

Take care

Most ppl here do not support this but the media keeps covering it up and keeps warning the world will end without the bailout. I think its all bullshit we made it over a week without this bailout and the stronger companies will just takeover the weaker ones, thats how a free market is suppose work.

Tank you.

I hope you get your bailout. I was thinking many people would stop paying their debt after this.

Yeah, I believe you.

THEIR world will end that`s the truth

I think it's disgusting.

This American is AGAINST BAILING OUT WALL STREET.

I've pondered this as well. Enough elected officials will be toast if they back it, so local elected officials (judges, etc) are likely to side with us regular folk in torts that seek "retribution." The question is, will the final bailout plan close all avenues of redress for the citizens of this country?

True sentiment is being buried by the MSM, including that ridiculous USA Today article claiming 75% in favor (in a phone survey of 1,000 people eating KFC for dinner while watching "America's Got Talent").

Sentiment is overwhelmingly against the plan and the PTB know it.

It's being blacked out.

Personally, I don't know ANYBODY that is for this bailout, and I have only seen a couple of people on other forums that are for it. Now, keep in mind, the couple O have seen that are in favor of it don't think it will fix anything, they only think it will "buy some time" so they can better prepare for the economic disaster.
I think the claims of a majority being in favor of it are either outright lies or they are asking people who have no idea what the bailout is about. I don't see how anyone who has taken five minutes to think about would approve of it.

BTW, most of the Congressional aides I have spoken with this week said that the "overwhelming majority" of the phone calls they have received have been against the bailout. That ought to tell you something.

Around here, family and friends are furious, but at the same time, they feel powerless. Like little kids waiting for daddy's final words.

I like that guy's post yesterday that said they should give the money directly to the taxpayers instead. I'm not holding my breath, though, on that one...

im a american, i think a revolution of the nastiest kind is in order.

I'm not for it but I'm starting to think it might be necesary.
Why? Because I don't want people to lose everything they've worked their whole life for.
I don't want the little guy to go out of business because he can't get credit or access his payroll account.
I want the CEOs and CFOs to go to jail if possible because they ran the worlds biggest ponsie scheme.
If the bill can do this without any golden parachutes, hold the ones responsible accountable and undo the deregulation that Clinton started and Bush added to. Yes it will a good idea.
BTW...When I heard that some people are putting over 7 billion in earmarks into the bill I puked in my mouth.

Has anyone questioned the 35 to 50 billion $ payments in interest on 700 billion, where will that money go?

It's a wake up call that Americans have no control of their government anymore.

it's typical of bushco, it's what they do. starting with the stolen elections. behold all the looting done concerning iraq. they are thieves and murderers. we are powerless to stop them. they are swooping in for the kill now.

behold

if there was nine hours between the last replies on this thread.. then either glp has been real busy... or

every body boogied outta here!

Yes, I agree. And I'm not happy about it

Your probably not going to find many "average Americans" on a forum like this :p

something like: public RAPE in broad daylight

Ithaca, ny has a local "currency". Maybe we the people could come up with a bartering system currency that we use instead. fuck their currency

I think you have your head directly up your ass.

They are ripping off 7.8 trillion dollars and a shitload of gold.

We think it's bullshit. The Congress is getting millions of raging and furious letters, or they would have buckled like the weak spineless fools they are long time ago, but they are more afraid of us.

I think the word 'outrageous' sums up the sentiment, OP. There are those of us in the U.S. who try to live financially responsible lives. There are those of us in the U.S. who strive to honestly pay back any debts we have accrued. And those of us who live this way wouldn't even *THINK* of asking or expecting the government to bail us out of whatever financial holes we have gotten our individual selves in.

So when the financial industry in this country plays fast and loose, makes bad/reckless financial decisions, bad loans to bad credit risks, pays themselves *obscene* amounts of money, lives at a Marie Antoinette-like remove from the average American, and worst of all, creates fictional investment vehicles and sells them to unsuspecting investors domestically and around the world, then has the GALL to ask the U.S. taxpayer, via the U.S. government, to foot the bill when the whole farce has been exposed, and to expect no repayment, it is a monument to our self-restraint as a people that we don't take up any real or improvised arms against them and their high-rise offices. They are clearly out of touch with reality and need a reality check.

I think these big investment firms should be made to sink or swim by their own devices. THAT'S THE CAPITALIST WAY. The economic model they supposedly believed in, but apparently don't anymore. And if we the people suffer indirectly by their extinction, hey, that's the economic system we have chosen to live under. Life won't stay bad forever. We'll eventually get back on our feet. But all these efforts over the past year to prop up the badly-faltering economy are just going to make the inevitable economic crash all that much worse.

Sorry for the length OP. I guess this subject pressed a bigger button in me than I thought.

I agree!
I think the whole deal sux and they should be trying to help out the average citizens instead.
But we all know that won't happen because they could give two shits about us
