Thanks for opening this up for discussion. I can relate to your article on so many levels. I'm in Detroit and that's all anyone can think about these days. There's no right answer, and I don't know if going in either direction will be the solution. My grandmother keeps telling me to keep my monies close and hold tight, because there's no telling how these next few years will pan out. That's about the only truth. My biggest concern and my biggest question is with this bailout money will they begin to bring people back to work? Or are we just giving these highly paid execs more money to keep operating without consideration for anyone else. I also feel they've known this was coming for a long time - why weren't they thinking about this for the last few years. I know I for one wouldn't miss a few less commercials if they were to decide to cut their ridiculous marketing budgets and put that back into the operations. I've closed my eyes and am holding on for the bumpy ride I guess. In the end, if certain individuals wanted to "help out" the financial industry before the ending of a particular term and didn't think anyone else would notice the hand-out and wouldn't come asking also, well you know, you can't stop now. Funny enough the auto execs were giving alot of slack for their method of transportation to Washington the first time, but no one has taken responsibility for the ridiculous relaxing vacations taken by some of the financial beneficiaries. We'll see won't we. Nothing changes the fact that it's the regular people that are suffering and the ones in desperate need of help, since they think for the holidays and to improve the market they only need only to build our "confidence" to get us spending again. I laugh, spend what? What should feel confident about? Where's our bailout, where do we turn for help? Lord knows anyone who's dealt with these credit card companies in the last few years will tell you how ridiculous and extreme they've become. All we get is that we'll pay off our debt in maybe the next 30 years. Oh, perhaps mortgage our homes to pay off that debt, oh but we'll lose that sole means of security, so really we don't have anything and we shouldn't of bought cars, homes or anything else. I don't think there's and ending Maybe someone has the answers...EvaSoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716016385779771548noreply@blogger.com
