I certainly didn’t support the bailouts but to post a sob story on a $20+ a month internet connection (probably more like $45) from a computer that cost at least a few hundred bucks seems a little more than ridiculous to me. Next, I suppose you’ll tell me they all posted from the free library internet connection, right? 75% of these stories are from single moms with multiple children. They should have thought about the consequences of having unprotected/unwed sex. And where are the fathers anyway? The other 25% seem to be idiots who took out huge student loans, got a sociology degrees or something equally worthless and wonder why they don’t have a job. They ALL probably voted for 0bama, so imo they reap what they sow.
please - don’t put words in my mouth. $20-$40 per month to pay for online access, on a computer that’s probably a few years old doesn’t mean that they’re rolling in money, and it won’t really help them when it comes time to pay rent if they cancel service or sell their computer. And I don’t know how many of those you’ve read, but most aren’t women with multiple unwanted kids looking for a handout. They seem to be split between men and women, and most have student loan debt, and are either jobless or working below their education level. What makes you think that the degrees they have are worthless? Are you actually saying that the level of unemployment is so high because college graduates aren’t getting the right degrees, and that’s why they can’t get jobs? BTW, regardless of their degree, college is expensive - even if you go to a state school.
This isn’t a partisan issue, and everyone who was against the bailouts should be on their side. This is about wall street getting too close with govt to the extent that the govt let the free market go to hell, just to keep these firms afloat. Do you really think that those firms and banks only donated to the dems?
