Not again! Where is our free market capitalism? Gah! Bush and Obama are two in one. They are both socialist. The banks act irresponsibly, that's their own fault! Why should we bail them out? With the 700,000,000,000 dollars, we could actually give everyone living in poverty and/or suffering unemployment 10-15 thousand dollars. But instead, we choose to bail out irresponsible banks. The only people who seem to profit from this 'bailout' crap are the irresponsible CEOs who already have more than enough gold coins in their pockets. - Interfering with the free market will NOT stimulate the economy despite the claims of several fiscal 'experts' such as Paulson. Those idiot bureaucrats just keep appending zeroes and hope that it will work... And all the Bush bashing here is a bit out of line. May I remind everyone that the Democrats in Congress aren't doing any better... Our whole government is corrupted... :( Rescuing banks? Not again! Where is our free market capitalism?

Stop forcing me to pay for someone else's mistakes. These bailouts are making things worse, not better. Creating money out of thin air increases inflation and causes the price of everything to rise. All the bailouts are doing is reaffirming that personal responsibility is no longer necessary and is rewarding failure. President Bush didn't create this mess. Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi nad crew created it by forcing banks to give out subprime mortgages. Banks proceeded to give people loans, even though they would never be able to repay them.

At the moment he is a TOTAL LAME DUCK and the American Economy is taking a WORLD BEATING with this idiot at the controls drinking and driving is the best way that I could put it. I'm certain the American people will welcome something like this only if he acts now like he acted going to war with IRAQ.Come on George,act now and save your beloved country and let the NEW ADMINISTRATION TAKE CHARGE. Every one knew from the inception that you were the wrong man for the job thanks to those Florida MISCOUNTS in 2000 and votes that were NOT COUNTED in 2004.

How about we get 40%-50% of the oil reserves in Saudi Arabia for exchange to help them out and a veto sit position on the OPEC Consul?

Bush and all of his cronies in jail. At the very least tied up in lawsuits, investigations, and fines, so they remain stressed and sick in the stomach, for a minimum of 8 years.
