The problem is your presuming we actually have a say in what our tax dollars, our childrens tax dollars, and our grandchildrens tax dollars are spent on. Clearly they are not. In fact the first failed bailout was a joke and this recent bailout is not much more then a spending spree by our government. Explain to me how over 300 million in std prevention is a bailout?
The bottom line is this will all be backstopped by the government.
It doesn’t matter if our leaders are democrats or republicans.

SD Realtor, we need to differentiate between bailout, stimulus and spending.
I’m for letting the market self-correct.
But how is a bailout of the irresponsible better then spending to help the people who were left out during the prosperous years?
Isn’t stimulus all about getting the money flowing in the economy?
