StumbleLETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Bailout won’t help Main Street America
Sunday, Oct. 12, 2008 | 2:02 a.m.
Bailing out the stock market and banks doesn’t do a thing, except line the pockets of the “fat cats.” What did the politicians expect to happen?
Main Street America is struggling just to put food on the table, pay for medical care, and pay rent and utilities. This doesn’t leave any money left over to buy the little things, such as clothes, haircuts and essentials.
This means there is no money left over for savings or 401(k)s. No money for eating out, movies or vacations.
If Main Street America can’t do those things, how can you expect any money to be put into the marketplace? It’s time for a change.

Tell that to Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Dodd, and Franks.
There will be no way to stop Democrats when they have the Whitehouse, the peoples house, and 60 in the Senate.
There will be no limits, no controls, no oversight, no nothing on the Democrats.
Oh and when the DEMs are done fixing things, we still will have an out of control pair in freddie and fannie.
Oh, my God! 2012, how can you be so ridiculous?! This is the work of Republicans since the Reagan era! You're one of the suckers who voted us into this mess with the Republican anti-labor, pro-fat cat policies. I cannot believe that people can be so unaware, and such suckers. Please don't vote, Future 2012. (2012: you're one of the ones waiting for the Rapture, maybe?)
