No Bank Left Behind

I won’t get into all the details about why I don’t like the financial ‘resuce’ plan so I’ll just state that I think it is atrocious. On Friday I tried calling my congressman but got no answer, not even a recording.  I then tried the Capitol Hill Switchboard and listened to the ‘All Circuits Are Busy’ recording.  Nice.  I’ve sent emails but who knows if they are getting through.  I just hope that the ’smart’ financial wizards (you know who you are) that got us into this mess don’t continue to burden the country with more debt.Look at it this way, you hired someone build you a house, then you move and the house completely fell apart leaving you expose to the elements.  The builder comes over and sees the house in shambles and tells you he knows how to fix it but it will cost $700 billion dollars, would you pay him MORE money to fix the problem he created in the first place?  No, you would FIRE him.  Why do these people not get held accountable for their actions?  Because they have fleeced the American people into believing that they are doing everything in their best intrests and that the current situation is due to market conditions that were out of their control.  Hog wash.Frustrated.
