C.E.O.'S that have raped and pillaged American companies and left with boat loads of money in their bank accounts.

C.E.O.'s are responsible for out sourcing of American jobs.

C.E.O.'S are responsible for AMERICAN'S having to pay for this 700 billion to 2 trillion dollar bail out. It all starts at the top people.

C.E.O'S are responsible for American's paying more and more for their health care plans.

Less Less Less for you and More More More for me....C.E.O.'S, WALL STREET AND OUR CONGRESS...A triple threat to the American way of life.

sometimes I feel we're going to go into a recession either way. Would we rather go because we bailed 'em out, or go because we didn't? I'd rather suffer because we didn't!

Absolutely!!!!! We have gone through recessions before and the world did not end.

I'd rather we help the PEOPLE of the United States of America then help a bunch of bankers and loan sharks get out of trouble with (OUR) money.

These SCUMBAGS!!!! should be put in prison and their bank accounts , on shore and off shore, should be confiscated. If you or I committed fraud we would be in prison...why are they better than you and me?

They knew exactly what they were doing and now they are going to have us bail their crooked Ass's out. IT's WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!

Not that I disagree with the problematic CEO issue, but I heard an interesting little talk about the fact that every other person in America is just the same as Wall Street...we buy what we can't afford, use credit we shouldn't use, purchase houses we wouldn't qualify for without one of those horrible ARMs, don't save money, etc.
Not that EVERYONE behaves this way, obviously, but I'd venture to say that 90% of our population does. So if we bail out Wall Street to the tune of $700B will it really get any better??? We don't have a CLUE how to handle money, apparently!

there's truth in that too Ga...but for those of us who've worked and worked and worked, saved what we could to actually be able to afford what little we have..it's those who've been able to do so that will be the one's, again, to have to carry this burden. In my way of thinking, it's only going to broaden the gap between the wealthy and the poor. Middle class is going to disappear if something isn't done.

I'm there with ya...I've worked my a$$ off to make ends meet, raise 2 kids alone, provide college, etc...

Do you think we really HAVE a middle class anymore? I think that's already an illusion...
but even of those of us who work hard - most can't handle money and live on credit. We need to figure out what we really NEED vs what we WANT and what helps us "keep up with the Jones'"

According to economic "RULES" it isn't technically a recession...but geez...look at my checkbook (okay, please don't) and how it feels to the average person. I don't think I understand these "RULES" either!

No, in order to have a recession our economy has to show 3 or 4 quarters of negative growth, I think… in order for us to be "officially” in a recession. The economy has not shown this....yet.

Do you think the truth about the economy is being shown to us? How can we trust, any of the #'s being fed to us when so many corporations "fixed" the books? Would the gov't actually do that as far as what we're told? Surely not...but to avoid panic and Washington being over run...yes they would. JMO.

"Fascism should be more accurately called Corporatism, as it is the Corporate power structure working hand in hand with the Government over the people."

Paraphrasing none other than Mussolini.

Yes well only because it's an election year are they doing anything. We have to hold their feet to the fire AFTER the elections are over.

There was a time when I was so politically active...as a civilian. After the NAFTER & GATT battle I was done.

Well now all that the politicians did is coming back to bite them ALL in the butt. Yet we were the ones called isolationists etc etc for warning them ALL. Including DEMS... (sigh)

I don't think we should be paying for THEIR mistakes.

AN ANTHEM FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS.

AC/DC

IF YOU WANT BLOOD, YOU GOT IT.

It's criminal
There ought to be a law
Criminal
There ought to be a whole lot more
You get nothing for nothing
Tell me who can you trust
We got what you want
And you got the lust

CHORUS:
If you want blood, you got it
If you want blood, you got it
Blood on the streets
Blood on the rocks
Blood in the gutter
Every last drop

It's criminal
There ought to be a law
Criminal
There ought to be a whole lot more
You get nothing for nothing
Tell me who can you trust
We got what you want
And you got the lust

CHORUS:
If you want blood, you got it
If you want blood, you got it
Blood on the streets
Blood on the rocks
Blood in the gutter
Every last drop
You want blood, you got it

It's animal
Living in a human zoo
Animal
The **** that they toss to you
Feeling like a Christian
Locked in a cage
Thrown to the lions
On a second's rage

Blood on the rocks
Blood on the streets
Blood in the sky
Blood on the sheets
If you want blood - you got it

(I want you to bleed for me)

If you want blood, you got it
