Wouldn’t it be simpler and cheaper for the government to ‘give’ each american household $1mm.

There are probably only ~300 million citizens, give them each $1mm to payoff they debt. There would have to be some oversight to make sure the money isn’t just spent and the debt not paid but it’s a lot cheaper than spending $700billion in who knows what and in the end we know that the people who really need it will not see it in time.

It's a mess. Now that the plan has passed, I'm hoping for the best. Whatever that is. In the meantime, I found this hilarious song about the bailout. Anything to lighten up a grim topic: Bailout song

The speed-of-light measurement was off by a factor of nearly 100.
The technology of the era was not up the task. With new technology came new calculations for the speed of light path traveled in a vacuum one meter length is 1/299 792 458 of a second.
One day a Zen master was walking in the jungle and came across a large man eating tiger charging behind him, in a split second the made the decision to run down the path to escape the man eating tiger, suddenly he was at the end of the path which was a edge of a shear drop cliff dropping a long way to jagged rocks, so below which would be a sure death. So, the Zen master was faced with being eaten by a large man eating tiger or jumping off the cliff to sure death! The Zen master looked at the edge and notice a small vine at the edge of the cliff growing over the edge, with a split second decision he decided to use the frail vine to get over the edge of the cliff. The frail vine began to give way and the Zen master was falling to sure death to the jagged rocks below, when he notice a fresh beautiful bright red strawberry growing on the cliff right in front of him, the last thought from the Zen master was this is got to be the best tasting strawberry he has ever had. The economy would be the Man-eating tiger and the frail vine is the rescue or bailout plan. The strawberry is the pork barrel attached to the rescue or bailout plan.

We all have a chance this election to sent a huge message to Washington.
Do not re-elect anyone who holds office. That would turn some heads.

I find it interesting that we’re all outraged about executive pay but we’ll dish out hundreds or thousands to go to a pro football game. I think executives earn their pay far more than Hollywood or elite athletes.

I agree with dodds, but with all our comments, how can we let the congress, the lawmakers know that we are against this policy of bailout.everybody knows now it’s not our fault that the market got in this situation! it seems sending e-mail to my senator and representative doesn’t mean a thing, just read about Reid D-nev also changed his mind from nay to yea. Wach out lawmakers or I’ll vote all the new elected candidate this coming election!!!!!
