The Big Money bill passes and is signed.

Ok let me see if I can answer the why. This is not a Wall street Bail out any more. When the Governor of California tells you he cannot get money to pay police we are passed Wall Street. When a chicken farmer in Georgia tells me he doesn't know if he will be in business because his supplier cannot get the money to be able to send him chcks we are passed Wall Street.

I listened to the debate today and while Ron Paul and a whole bunch of other folks were 100 percent correct about the problems and the changes needed they were dead wrong about what to do. It doesn't matter if your right but there are no police or fire folks in your town because they cannot get paid. That is where we were going and in a hurry.

So we can all hate the bad guys and say never never again. And we can insure we get paid back. This bill is a start to fix a problem. It's like some one throwing you a life preserver while you wait for the rescue ship. Let's stay focused on Congress when they come back in session to make sure they get it right

No one seriously considers bailing us out

As I watch the bailout debate  and the bailout bill morphing  I am struck by one thing. The boys and girls in DC say how complicated this all is . Well guess what  give the money to us. IT IS OUR MONEY in the form of taxes so give it to us. The hot blog says  take the 85 billion you gave AIG and give it to us so we can pay off our mortgages makes perfect sense. It is a lot less than 700 billion . There is precedent. After all we give 10 billion a month to a bunch of folks in Iraq who could care less about us.

Give us BACK our money. We will spend it. We will prime the pump big time. The last rebate was too small. Think big. After all you  folks in Washington have no problem thinking big when it comes to your fellow suits. What about us poor slobs who pay the bills?

So at the end of the day this really is not very complicated. Give the money to the consumers. We will spend our way out of the mess others created. Everybody will be happy. It isn't really very complicated at all. We obviously do not have the political clout that Wall Street does.
