There are no words to describe how angry I think a lot of us feel right now.

You know I do my part I've played by the rules. I keep my check book balanced my car is paid off every payment on time. I'm 13 years away from paying off my house. Again all payments on time my credit cards are all paid off.

I rarely charge things if I don’t have to.

And I know I'm not the only one who manages their finances responsibly.

But this whole bailout thing is for the birds!

Now I'm supposed sit back and watch them take my hard earned tax money and give it to the people who created this mess to begin with so they can lend it back to us with interest!

$7.8 Trillion Total Bailout Commitment

The bailout sink hole link

That's right there is our government looking out for our best interest!

Now the Auto bailout is going south!
Well I love my country and I'm as patriotic as the next guy.

But I feel that if they keep doing business as usual then let them fall.

I think it's time for the unions to go they were needed back in the day but I feel they have outlived their usefulness; we have laws and regulations now.

Auto bailout of the big 3

UAW

Chapter 11

Restructuring

Build- Better looking, More fuel efficient, More reliable vehicles

I'm so mad I want to Curse!

So lets do the math

The estimated population of the United States is 305,259,545
so each citizen's share of this debt is $34,900.95.

thanks Washington your a real pal

This is so funny I'm crying!

National Debt Passes $10 Trillion, No One Notices

How much is a trillion dollars anyway? Like we all learned in school, it's a thousand billions, and as the old line goes, "a billion here and a billion there and pretty soon you're talking about real money." But the difference between a billion and a trillion is staggering.

With a billion dollars, you could keep about 45,000 people in a four-year college for a year -- or, depending on their behavior, in jail.

Grab a tissue you'll need it

I know politicians I would like to see in jail!
45.000 in a four-year college yup there goes Americas competitive edge with the rest of the world. instead of a next generation of scientist and engineers we are paying for bad loans and mismanagement.
