Government Bailouts

What I am about to say most people will believe I am cold and heartless, but the truth usually hurts whether they believe it or not.

I beleive it is time for the American public to feel the pain of their mistakes. Their mistakes in not voting career politicians out of office. Their mistake and greed to acquire self wealth on the backs of true middle income Americans and their families. Their mistake letting executive CEO's be rewarded for poor management and oversight of shareholders' money. Their mistake in believing the government can help them manage their economics out of problems when they cannot even manage the everyday people business in running an efficient government, except for the military and they have their own problems. Their mistake in looking the other way allowing the poor and uneducated to control the peoples purse strings by letting Congress not hold those who recieve taxpayer money accountable for productivity and paying back a portion of their gift to promote responsible behavior. I say NO BAILOUT PACKAGE & let America and the World waid in a short depression. You will find a greater generation return like the one who survived the 1930's & 1940's of the United States of American. Too many people and chidren were given too much without earning the rewards. It is now payback time.

Our problems begin form the 1960's for the right reasons but the wrong means. Give with no return, ethier by service or montary reinbursement of time. Socilaism is why WW I, WW II and Korea, even Vietnam to some extent, was fought. Our Present situation was cause by many of the same people (on both sides) trying to sell us a saving plan. There were distinct warnings by both Republicans and Democrats starting in 1996. While others perpertrated the problems forming the basis of what Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac is today, Barney Franks 1992, and supported by Charles "Chuck" Schulmer 1995 & 2003 over the years. When is the American public going to wake up and see career politics is our worst enemy. There should be term limits set, 2 - 4 years terms for Congressman & 2 - 6 years terms for Senators, there should be no permanant retirement program or health benefits given. Their benefits should be subsidized while in office and then they must contribute to their plans as typical middle class people do as a self-employed person.
