Because rich people I do not know got even richer and greedier, I now have to give them a Trillion Dollars to rescue them from their short sighted greed. I work for N.Y.S. Supreme Court and do foreclosures for a living. Even without a business degree, I could see this coming 2 years ago when the foreclosure rate skyrocketed. One has to believe that bankers and brokers are not stupid. They allowed the problem to get this serious, so that I would be forced to save their collective asses.
Now the politicians are telling us that if they don’t put me in debt for the next hundred years, I will face dire consequences. What are these consequences? How are they any worse than what I have now? The country is already 3 Trillion Dollars in debt. My paycheck has become worthless. The currency has been so devalued, that the 5 dollars a gallon gas price is because I play with Monopoly money.
I have paid into Social Security for 40 years. It is a contract that is was forced into as a minor. Any other contract with a minor would be unenforceable. Every year I pay more and they change the rules. Now they say that they spent all my money and may not be able to pay me.
Should I get sick, I am one of the lucky ones who has health insurance. I pay through the nose for it. An aspirin in the hospital could cost 20 dollars because someone has to pay for the under insured. Guess who.
What dire consequences are you trying to scare me with now? What scares me the most is that this ultra-liberal democrat is agreeing with the conservative republicans. Let Wall Street bail itself out of the mess.
