Democrats in general oppose this bill but then overwhelmingly pass it????

[quote=socrattt]Agreed, everything is revolved around the US economy, but will greed and power ever take a back seat in our economy for the young guys like me to ever get involved in actually making this country a better place for future generations? That is why I have such a negative view of our current status.

I am busy working on some large alternative energy projects, yet seem to struggle getting any help from our government on the side of taxes and federal subsidies. We need to make this country much more energy efficient, but neither party really helps us young guys succeed. It usually ends up in the hands of Uncle Sam to be spent on projects like buying bad debt. :)[/quote]

Actually bailout 2.O included tax incentives for alternative energy funding, so you see, it’s not all that bad.

Second, truely innovative ideas will find funding in the private sector as well. The fed might be broke, but private equity sit exists. It’s really not doom and gloom. Being young, you really don’t have to worry about all the risks in the economy right now. See, for instance, my co just recently let go a bunch of experienced 10-15 year folks, but we’re hiring a bunch of college grads and 2-5 year folks etc. Call it cost cutting,etc but you younger folks aren’t having aproblem finding opprtunities even in this market. If you were in your 50ies ir 60ies that need to tap that 401k soon, yeah I can understand why you’d be freaking out now. But if you were close to retirement, you should have been is cash like assets to begin eith and not equity. Anyway, cheer up. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I only wish I had more money now. If I were single I’d be throwing the entire house at select equities right about now.

(Please don’t take my financial advice. It’s not in your best interest…:))

Patientlywaiting,

There is nothing progressive about socialism. Its been tried before and has failed and is failing here and in Europe.

I will never understand why seemly intelligent people can be so blind.

You are dumber than you sound if you actually believe that any politician (no matter what party) is looking out for anyone other than themselves. Bottom line, if a polictician comes up with an economic policy…normall it is crap. For example, the community reinvestment act. Sure, those “bleeding hearts” had well intentions….but just because ideological intentions were good, doesn’t mean the implementation is going to create good results. [/quote]

The difference is that at least one side has good intentions.

I would admit that the conservative side is smarter in that the singular focus on the pocketbook is a much easier approach.

It’s much easier to focus on your bank account here and now that trying to save the world. You don’t have to think about anything but your personal interest.

So why do you think that Paulson and Bush asked for this bailout if Republicans believe that government involvement is so bad?
