hello america! obama, from day 1, has been telling us just how dire our present situation is &, i have a problem with that. obama is playing on our fears. he's very good at that. america, in your heart, you know that no matter what the government does, this nation will come out on top. what mr pessimistic obama seems to have forgotten is, america is the people, not the government &, in dire times, we are at our best as a people. we will help those truely in need without being asked to. when the chips are down, we stand up-always have/always will.
a little trip back in history would be good for obama & his crew...this country was founded by the people-not government...remember the boston tea party & paul revere? remember all the disasters we've been through? we were there with donations, goods, services & open arms &, when we couldn't do any of that, we were there with the tv & prayers.
we are going through some very tough times but, in time, we will recover. yes, the loss of jobs is hard on families but, we've been losing jobs since the beginning of time. but, for the government to come in just start passing out my money in order for some of the people to keep those jobs is wrong. we didn't bail out the airlines indusry &, although they are still having problems, they're still putting those planes in the air. k-mart went bankrupt, layed off lots of people---look at it now &, they didn't get a bailout. yes, those laid off went through some tough times but, has anyone taken the time to do a study on their regrowth?
america, the auto industry got a bailout that didn't help a bit. they are back at the table for more &, after they get it, they'll be back for even more. what's the point of bailing them out if they're only going to turn around & lay off more workers. wasn't that the main purpose of the bailout to keep their employees employed? besides, american made cars are not going to sell---they're cheaply made, drink too much gas &, cost to much---it's that simple. i think it's ironic to say they're american made when damn near everything on them is imported.
another reason i'm against bailing them out is:::if those union workers making $24-$45 per hour didn't put anything away for a rainy day, that's on them. but they've got obama on their side &, he's partial to union labor.
america, none of the bailouts have done what they were designed to do. they just don't & won't work.
they bailed out the banks & the banks froze the loans, bought another bank, merged with other banks &, won't disclose how that money was spent. yeah, help them some more.
they bailed out the auto industry & they are still laying off workers & not making a product worthy of money. yeap, they reall y need our help.
they bailed out fannie & freddy & homes are still being foreclosed on & the ceos are still making big bucks. obama, please tripple what you first wanto give them.
america, our government needs to stick to running the country, not business. fannie & freddy are examples of why they should they should just let the chips fall where they may...we will recover on our own.
