Our government wants $700 billion to basically bail out the five major banks remaining that have volatile portfolios, while the Fed has spewed $650 Billion in inflationary cash into the global markets on top of that, and yet the people who got bagged into bad mortgages and loans and the people in general can't be afforded a single thing?
There hasn't been one official word from anyone about helping the victims of this crisis - the talk of keeping the taxpayers in mind when it comes to the bailout is all about attempting to minimize our risk in giving the banks our money, not in getting anything for ourselves.
No money, no relief, no programs, no assistance. No infrastructure, no energy, no transportation, no health care, no education programs, no anything. $1.3 Trillion created out of the ether after years of claiming poverty and yet none of it benefits any of us. Instead, if we're lucky, we might get some of it back so it can go back to not being used to fix things.
No respect. I've said it before - the individual consumer has no place in the American government anymore - only the dollar and the corporation matter.
