ParticipantI think it’s more important to look at the persons role in the run up of the housing crises. Did Davis take money from freddie/fannie or banks? Did she vote for the deregulation? Things like that. I can’t just say vote the person out based on one vote. Do your research. She may have been working on fixes things already, and then we might lose someone on our side (as much as a congresswoman could be anyway) It’s people like Barney Franks that really need to go. I’m not defending Davis, and I have no idea what her record is.
On another note. Blaming either repubs or dems exclusively for this mess is very narrow minded. The problem is the corrupt atmosphere of the government as a whole. The parties act the same regardless. They just use BS excuses to gain peoples vote to stay in power and continue with their greed! DO YOUR RESEARCH! Don’t let one party or the other BS you into a vote.

ParticipantI’ve calmed down some. I will not vote against someone just because they voted for the bailout. I will, however, do my best to vote out anyone in the pockets of the corporations or banks that got us into this mess to begin with. I will take the time to do a little research before I make a rash decision. A simple vote for the bailout, although misguided, doesn’t necessarily mean you are a bad politician, but probably scared from the doom and gloom forecasts from Paulson inc. If, however, it turns out you stood to gain from voting for it in a more direct manner, you deserve to lose.

Participant[quote=urbanrealtor]Please don’t flame me but actually answer this question. I am asking it genuinely.
Would it be better for you as an individual to not have an economic bailout/rescue/stimulus/bucket-of-money-for-bank?
If so, why?
If not, why not?
Again, not looking to fight, I am curious what people think of this. I know everybody is pissed off but I am curious what else is in the thought process.

I think in the short term, it may keep things from correcting for a few more weeks. It may in fact work somewhat by allowing the banks to dump all of their toxic securities.
However, I have lost all trust in the government and the banking system to not abuse the hell out of this and just make things worse in order to pocket more money. If I am going to have to spend money (1 trillion/US population = about $3200 for every man woman and child) I would rather do it in saving the lower and middle classes after a correction has occurred. Let the scoundrels who made billions on schemes which have failed six different times in our history lose their shirts. I understand the argument over the lending freeze, but I don’t think this will help at all. Don’t banks make money by lending it? If they want to stop trying to make a profit, let them. Ultimately it is in their interest just as much as ours to continue lending. Looking at the government, the ratio of senators/reps that voted for the bill who had received significant contributions from the benefactors of the bill and those that voted against who did not receive contributions tells a pretty bleak story.
