Bush, Paulson, and Bernanke were all saying the same this last year- that the US economy was strong and sound with minimal problems ahead. It wasn't until this year that the tone started to change. How could the economy go from "strong" to "on the verge of collapse" in just a few short months? Did they totally miss all the warning signs? And these are the same guys who have now created the "bailout plan" which they claim will work???

The government is working on a plan to take in all the bad debt from financial firms and putting it on the backs of taxpayers. This will effectively socialize all their losses onto us while getting all the companies/people responsible off the hook. The problem is, the US doesn't have enough money to pull this off and will only fall deeper in debt. We, the American people, will pay the consequences. Please contact your congressmen and tell them to stop this bailout madness!!
