Bush,
if you can throw your weight behind 700 billion, why have you taken a back seat to the vote on the energy issue? How can the democrats ( only 7 weeks ago ) just walk out and refuse to vote on this issue that relates so deeply to our  economy and the REAL crisis we face?
I want a real answer to this question. Why has no one gotten together a class action suit against every person who abandoned their post at such a crucial time in American history? Must be nice to get so many vacations throughout the year.
Not to mention retirement pay, with great health benefits. The average americans are lucky to get a sick day without being fired. Retirement, yea right ! Not in this day and age!  It sickens all Americans when they see a stunt like what the democrats did 7 weeks ago.
Yet you, our president said nothing.


Why,
AMJ

Wow, must be great to be in the fat cat club. There is nothing like gorging. Responsible ? I think not!!
If you loaned smaller portions of the Trillion to more businesses nationwide we would have a stable economy long term.
Lets take a look at the following conservative numbers $ 700,000,000,000. Even if you only LOANED (with real guide lines) one million dollars per company this would help hundreds of millions of small to medium companies grow nationwide. Meaning billions of extra jobs causing the average Joe's salary to go up, the simple rules of supply and demand.  Vote fair tax in and we keep the jobs and growth. Not to mention small to medium size companies cannot afford to act irresponsible with the money. They don't have multimillion dollar safe havens! Those CEO's do go to prison for illegal actions. All the while happy & free fat cats never receive any recourse for their actions. So, back to only helping out seven companies instead of millions. Which will if we are lucky, only create thousands of jobs instead of billions. Yes, the extra fluff will spur the economy on for a short time. You will see the fat cat investors back in the market. This may cause some sales and a few more jobs.  Of course real estate and stock prices will rise at an alarming rate causing inflation & the bubble effect AGAIN. This all goes back to the SMALL fat cat club gambling your money on investments for quick cash. When are we going to break up the Monopoly Washington? I hope something you pass helps the average American house hold and company!!! I am holding all of Washington on the hook for this monkey mess.
