Bailing out the spoiled, selfhish, and irresponisble.
I have an idea. Lets kick out of office everyone who voted for this bailout plan.
Democrats and republicans alike. This includes president bush. Those who voted against this plan did so based on personal principles and honor. Our leaders should not be fear mongering but inspiring. The government needs to lead by example and make it clear that no one should be surviving primarily on credit. No one should be buying things that can’t pay back within a couple years, and the technique of paying credit with credit is ridiculous. Those who voted against this plan basically said that it is more important to fall doing what is right rather than save ourselves by passing something that is wrong.
Yes this is an emergency. However, if something is put in front of congress and the senate, it will stay there until it is a plan everyone can live with. In order to pass a good plan, it takes time and patients. Manny minds that have passed the approval of their constituents must learn, debate and compromise in order for a good plan to pass. corporations and the people must know that they must be responsible with their money and business strategies otherwise they will suffer the consequences of waiting for congress to fix their mess.
There are two main sources of this disaster and neither of them is lack of government intervention and regulation. The two sources of this disaster are corporations not doing the right things with their businesses and people purchasing more than they can afford. The consequence is that everyone must wait for congress and the senate to pass a plan to fix this mess.
Both conservatives and liberals alike have good reasons to reject this plan. We don’t hire these people to control businesses and get involved with the stock exchange with tax dollars. We hire these people to argue and debate important issues that the constitution allows them to do. I am willing to let them debate and come up with a good plan instead of freaking out of selfishness.
As for my partisan section of this post I would like to mention that if everyone who voted for this plan was kicked from office that would leave more republicans than democrates.
