Went to Sears last week at metro Phx AZ for carpets. Asked the salesgirl where carpets were. She said downstairs. Went downstairs & saw another sales lady for carpets. She said, "we don't sell them anymore & we haven't sold them for FIVE YEARS!

Left.

I just don't know where to start.....Huge corps-the CEO's get mega bucks for what? bankrupting the corps..The banks are not lending to people with current good credit and equity in property-so they can't refinance to float for another year or two therefore, these folks will have to declare bankrupt to hold on their assests, ruin their credit..more foreclosures....If the govenment had given the Tax Payer a $1,000,000 with the stipulation that the money be used for paying back debt, mortages, credit cards and these folks would have extra $$$ to spend; everyone wins! Banks get their money etc. Bring back jobs from over seas, ie service accounts for USA citizens.

The problem is that the current thought is to shore up the credit markets. But as stated the credit markets are part of the problem.

I think they need to restrict consumer credit, repeal the 2005(?) bankruptcy laws, make the lenders responsible for making bad loans. But at the same time offer credit/bailouts to American companies only if this money leads to permanent full-time positions for American citizens.

This all mess was ment to happen, because you can't keep on borrowing and put it off for an infinite time, like a lot of people did with their credit cards, or buy houses they cannot afford by pressenting fake incomes.And at the same time when companies were going down,CEOs were raking in ridicilous amounts of money. And all this bailouts is just saving those same CEOs at the expense of taxpayers, and regular workers that are being laid off. Just for the thougt-how about one of the main CEOs in a company thats loosing money because of bad management gets laid off.The money left will be enough to keep regular workers for a really long time!

We've been in a recession one year. BULL!!!

We've been in a recession a lot longer than that and the people responsible have been cooking the numbers to hide the truth. Do you really think we got into this mess overnight? Hundred of thousands of people have been forced off their jobs for the sake of Wall Street. A very high percentage of these people either gave up looking or have taking a serious of part time jobs, using credit as a crutch to get by on and the battle cry of "Share Holder Value" was more important than anything else. In about 6 months the data will show we are in a depression and of course the administration of the time, which will be Obama, will act totally surprised.

But at least Obama has recognized that Wall Street can not thrive while Main Street suffers. I just hope he gets serious enough about it to throw some people in jail. (The jail yard scene from "Hancock" pretty much sums it up for me)

No More Gold Over People for me!!!! and if Obama fails, I guess it's on to the Libertarian Party. Moral of the story; If we want change, we have to change the way we vote.

The economy in the tank and institutional money just vanished into thin air, since the hog troughs swimming with taxpayer money, suddenly they are all looting no proof just free money. Its sick how quick old Dog Repner can see, when supposed to be blind.

When I went to school seventy-five thousand words in the Webster dictionary, only two ended in [GRY] HUNGRY AND ANGRY, most common words used every today, either or both. When you get desperate people with no re-course, they do unusual things.

We cannot keep the money tree full all the time, for the amount of money being spent with no over sight we could run the IRAQ war forever, loop holes you could shove the whole world thru.

Thats the usual Governments way of doing business, that stuff on a stick for the main street gang.
