" Vote it down or give me the money which in turn gives the banks the money.

I'm a family of four, therefore the bailout should pay my mortgage down by roughly $7,000.00. It's a WIN Win. Now I'm not mad about paying the $7,000 to the government in the form of taxes and the banks get money to lend back out.

Change the regulations and rewrite the loans at low fixed rates. Most people being foreclosed on would prefer to stay in their home rather then pay rent and go bankrupt. To bailout the banks and have people lose there homes is just another way of keeping the little man down.

Lastly put Lou Dobbs in the oversight committee that writes the checks, and make him chairman.

Lastly, and most importantly, send me money so I can run for congress and rip you all off in the future. No don't, I have morals and their not that low. "

" candy: Sorry, I think paying peoples' mortgages is a dumb idea too - unless they are also going to pay mine (I put 20% down on a 15 year mortgage and will pay have it off in 5 - 2 left! But, then again, I bought a starter home I could afford.). I don't want to bail out the rich either, but paying struggling peoples' mortgages is no better - both reward bad behavior. Let it all fail - maybe then we'll get some change. I'd rather lose my job and have the whole system turned upside down... maybe taking a few years to straighten itself out, but we'll be better off in the long run. Then again, I'm young and would prefer to have my future as bright instead of having to fix the failures of the last generation. "

" to Jarhead: Just who do you think is accountable? Let's analyze the rent to own shops. They offer this good looking junk. Now here is someone who needs some of that good looking stuff but they can't afford to go to Walmart to buy it. So for a little less a month they spend two or three times more than they would at Walmart. Then they don't have the money to pay for it like they realized right up front so they don't pay or they take it to the local pawn shop. Don't you think they know who their customers are to begin with and the likelihood of getting all their money? I have always thought they take advantage of the disadvantaged and when they don't receive their money they should have to eat it. They knew the exact risk at the getgo. Then when it happens it is someone else's fault. That is the problem it is always someone else's fault. And the funny thing is they still keep doing it. "

" From what I gather, congress wanted the bailout but they wanted someone else to vote it in. So they could say to their voters see I did what you asked but it was the other guy who did that nasty deed of bailing us out. People might want to think about what bailing means. Imagine yourself in a boat and you need to start bailing. What happens if you don't? If people old enough would just think back, in yesteryear we couldn't get credit cards, loans for cars, loans for houses, loans for anything unless you had the means to pay it back and could prove it. There were no businesses set up for pay day loans that will charge you a lot of your paycheck to get an advance. Part of the problem is people buying stuff they can't afford. In yesteryear you couldn't do it if you tried. Now you can and greedy businesses have taken advantage of it. What we need right now are stricter laws. Do you think those will be passed either, because of what the voters want naturally. "

" Look out for the globalist agenda folks, cause it does not include any loyalty to America! Also please note that lobbyist organizations are now setting up phone banks to support the plan. Get on the phone NOW and please make those calls! Senate votes today which is bull because appropriations bills are suppose to originate in the House. Can you say Swindled? Can you say Betrayed? "

" The answer is not to give the guys that created this problem a huge check. The economy will still be bad, people will still be broke, and this will happen again. Funnel the money from the bottom up, not the other way around. Help these people pay their mortgages so the banks can get their mnoey and the economy can re-start itself. "

" I love slanted, yellow journalism! Calls to the Congress have been 90 to 10 opposed to the bailout. So what happens? The press has to inject new doubts based upon 10% of the calls, which they do not report as only 10%. Calls supporting the bailout are on the increase. Yeah, right. And we the tax payers are supposed to buy in to that as proof positive that the bailout of the top 2% of the wealthy in the USA is absolutely necessary? Look, let's be frank here: Nobody trusts the President and nobody trusts the Congress and absolutely nobody trusts a Wall Street banker! "

" I know, here is a novel approach, instead of doing nothing, try holding those responsible accountable! Instead, you morons in the Congress are going to turn over a blank check to these bozoes. Who is the bigger fool here the bankers that got us into this mess or the Congress that rights a blank check to them for their continued mismanagement, this time mismanagement of taxpayer money! "
