I'm Angry
And very sick to my stomach.
The corporate bailout has me fuming. When I fume I write letters to people. Since I read the San Francisco Gate online to remind myself of what twenty first century people think, I wrote them to vent my anger at my elected officials and anyone who cares to read. Find my letter online under the title US of C.
Here's the letter that was published by the San Francisco Chronicle on Friday, October 3:
US of C
Editor - I can't believe the Senate supported this horrendous bailout of large companies.
Small business is the engine that runs the American economy, and they bail out the large corporations? What kind of insanity is that?
In an economy when our future has been hocked by President Bush, the Senate just sentenced us to living with his mistakes for the next 20 years. How can they justify that? I'm guessing it's because the companies they are bailing out are the major contributors to their campaigns. Democracy is dead in the United States of Corporations.

me too... I mean seriously, I was saying for years there would be major fall out from the ARMS-- adjusting folks out of the ability to pay their mortgages-- mortgages that they couldn't afford in the first place, that they qualified for because they were lied to, or lied to themselves. And the whole mess was driven by GREED at the corporate level. GREED that was able to run amok because of DEREGULATION. Which is another word for TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH.
I'd like to believe that people can be trusted to work for the common good, to take care of their less fortunate brethren, to DO what Jesus would do as their "faith" would instruct... or even to DO what their Capitalist / Free Market beliefs espouse.
but alas it is not the case.
Where's my golden parachute? Who's gonna bail me out when my savings and IRAs don't cover my retirement or healthcare costs and social security and medicare don't cover the difference?
