A time to be proud

Although many Americans have been feeling anxious about the economy and the failures of banks and other major financial institutions, there  appears to now be a reason for that anxiety to be transformed into pride.

A lot can be said about the abilities of our elected officials when it came to saving our economy from possibly the greatest disaster ever.  But after you separate the political posturing and rhetoric that are characteristic of political types, it is plain to see that the real heroes who have saved our country this time around, are mostly average Citizens like you and me.

We have provided the money for all of the business bail-outs which are estimated to possibly reach as much as a trillion dollars in future costs.  I'll bet that you didn't think that we had that kind of money with the Iraq war and all.  Well you are right, we don't.

But the gamble is that all of  you fine folks will keep working and paying those taxes which will be used to pay off those loans from China and elsewhere.  Just don't wonder in the future why we don't have enough money to repair roads, fix schools, repair roads, pay  and update our military, take care of military veterans, etc.  Don't worry though, we will  rebuild  Iraq.

So be proud and stand up tall, you have helped save our economy at least for a while so that those failing businesses can get on their feet and use your money to make some more money for themselves.  

Now, don't you feel better?

Fannie, Freddie (or Feddie), and others any day now.
Yes...
Spending all that money makes me feel like a billion $.

CynPro, my sentiment exactly. Why are people so depressed about everything when they should be "proud to be a part of such an historic event?"

It seems as though the "conservatives" have managed to move us even closer to socialism/communism with their take over of businesses. That should also make them proud of yet another milestone during this administration.

shadows, a truly moronic post, followed up by an even worse comment. Only liberals like you want bigger government and intervention in their lives; this was an act of desperation; not to save the large companies per se; but those that are insured by them (that's you and I). I don't like bailing out any large company, however, many innocent americans could lose if these companies aren't saved. Now, once they're stable, the government should investigate and demand removal of executive level personnel. But, with a democratic congress, many of whom are already in bed with most of these companies, no one, but the public will be published.

As far as Socialism, talk to your muslim 1/2 black buddy, Obama. He wants to create more government, aid illegals and be buddies with terrorist nations, thumb his nose at God and our constitution...yeah, you're supporting a real winner there, pal.

TM6068, "only liberals like (me) want bigger government?" Did you just crawl out from under a rock or what?

In case you haven't noticed we are in a financial mess as a result of deregulation, lack of government oversight, and run away spending and there has been a Republican conservative president for eight of the last thirteen years and a Congress controlled by Republicans for eleven of those thirteen years.

In the first five years of Bush and his Republican controlled Congress federal spending increased 45 percent!! Our national debt is astronomical!!

As far as your last paragraph, you are undoubtedly a racist. You even talk about God in the same paragraph where you make that racist remark. I don't know about your God, but mine created all of the people regardless of color.

With people like you around it is no wonder that our country is in such a mess.

Shadow maybe it's a good thing we aren't drilling for oil!!! If we had oil we for sure would be taken over!!! One of the only things the U.S. had was money!!! NOW?????

But if the Oil companies drill and find extraordinary amounts of oil, they will be able to make more money by selling it to the other countries in the world that still have money.

And of course everyone knows that as a result of the allegiance of "American Corporations," the oil companies will certainly provide the money to get us out of the financial mess.

BTW, Why are all of the "American Corporations" so silent when we are having major problems, but not when there is money for them to get. Why aren't they helping us out? Maybe the pharmaceutical companies, health care providers, etc. could help us out with some of those record profits that they have made.
