I just got off the phone with a very nice gentleman from Representative Brian Bilbray’s office, and he suggested we keep calling/writing/faxing/e-mailing Boxer and Feinstien’s offices (as well as any other representatives). He said that is the best hope we have for changing things.
He said that the majority of input they’re recieving from constituents is AGAINST bailouts.

If those consequences are more severe for the general good of the country and it’s population, then it needs to be done. The question then remains, who should pay for it and how to prevent it happening again? That’s where you as a voter (hopefully) have the power to change things. To deny this process may be construed by many as an attempt to seek personal gain out of misfortune, arguably a force that contributed to this crisis in the first place. So far from assisting the healing process, you may be just stoking the fire. The notion that market forces should be allowed to do its work, is fine in situations where they created the problem. But we all know this was not just the market operating as we would all like to see it, but many factors including the tinkering by the very same powers, that are now attempting to clear up the mess. I’m not sure this cycle can ever be broken, but without intervention I would very much doubt it has much chance of success.

Funny. I think of it just the opposite. Don’t do a $1.2 trillion bailout until you are certain of what the consequences will be. They will surely be bad.

In that case, call your representatives and say you are all for the bailout as long as they abolish the Fed, stop borrowing money cuz THAT’S what created the problem.
I’m with Mish on this one:

Fractional Reserve Lending

Congressional Spending
