We still don't know where all the money went in the first stimulus package. We will all look back years from now and wonder what in the hell were politicians thinking throwing all this money around.

LOOK BACK... I have been in disagreement with these bailouts from day one ... The national debt will be $720,000 per wage earner (I wish I made that per year). That is before ANY of the stimulus money was thrown out there. The national debt is 10 times the national earnings in one year. What the "he double hockey sticks" are they thinking? Let free economy work. The weak fail and the strong survive... Natural selection ... As far as I am concerned ANYTHING else is some type of socialist program. What we have now is Government deciding who stays in business and who is left to fend for themselves (IDIOTIC POLICY). Look, even Chrysler received a major investment from Fiat. Fiat, the same company that took their shovel and pals and went back home in the early 1980s because they could not compete. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING OF VALUE SOMEONE WILL BUY (INVEST IN) your company, no matter how hopeless it seems.

Socialism, nationalism, etc. is NOT what made this country great. (Try to find what it was in a school history book)... We have F U 'd the greatest nation ever created (There is enough blame for everyone on this one)... If we do not stand up and take back our nation our children will never experience the economic successes we have had since 1946. We don't need short term fixes ... We need long term plans to handle world can throw out at us. And the last thing we need need is for Government to dictate how we do business.

The morality of everyone, {Government (Leaders and workers), business workers (CEO's down to the loading dock)} is the root of the problems we have experienced for the past 12 years. I do not know of any place where this is being addressed. What saddens me the most is listening to news channels phrase the stories on business news. It is almost like the private and corporate business models are being dismissed as not working and going forward without government intervention and oversight we are doomed.

Rantings a capitalistic pig ~fin~ ...
