I guess we’ll find out. This mess just infuriates me. I’ve had to shut the TV off twice today - both times 0bama speaking. I get so angry listening to his bull.

"There is a general sense of, if the government is going to bail one group out, why not us?"

Look at the statistics. There’s a new era of big government every election year.

Our government (formerly of the people, by the people, and for the people) is tonight committing the full faith of our country (against the expressed will of the people) to throw $700 BILLION into a financial black hole that no one really understands or knows how to stop

Or how much more will eventually, sooner rather than later, be thrown in after it.

Used to be pretty good at fixing cars, but not the new ones. I'm also a fair shot, with handgun and rifle. That might be worth more in the short term anyway. Although my shotgun wingshooting skills have gone all to cr@p, and I never was that good to begin with. Guess I'll have to eat deer and rabbit, rather than quail or pheasants. Oh well around here, you'd be more likely to be able to shoot a Turkey vulture than a pheasant or a quail. Plenty of rabbit and some squirrel though.

New era of BIG government??? When the hell was it small?? Bush has done as much as anyone to ENLARGE government!! Now, when the socialists get full control, you can bet your last ruble that it will continue to grow. Show me a Dimocrat and I will show you a liar, thief, thug, cheat, anti-American, anti-military, big government, big taxing, vote theft rigging cheating etc., SOB.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., claimed, "This can bring about a turn toward a new era. If we have the money to bail out Wall Street, we can provide funding for health care, childhood poverty, infrastructure and sustainable energy."

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.. we don't *have* the money. We'll be borrowing it, probably at premium rates (for the lender), and probably from the Chinese and Saudis. My Grandchildren, and probably their children as well, will likely still be paying the interest when they are old and gray, like me.

FDR started all of this kind of nanny state crap. There needs to be an end somwhere. but where?

Gunpoint, torches and pitchforks, tar and feathers.

All of these were once employed with regularity.

It needs to sooner rather than later, else we are handing our grandchildren a bum world.
