Thanks Congress,
I was once debt free. Now you have put me and my family in debt for at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. At no cost to you I might add.

This "bailout" is a con. Bush and Paulson are pushing this hard because the $700 billion is written to accommodate FOREIGN INVESTORS (Brad Sherman, D-California) who the US has borrowed from , thanks to good ole socialist GSEs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Unemployment checks couldn't cut it as people received home loans they couldn't afford, and now we are stuck with a multi-billion dollar debt that WE TAXPAYERS are responsible for, not the GSEs, not the White House, not the government.

My solution is to give the $700 billion to everyone 18 years and older; about $425,000/person.
1)Get rid of Welfare; Pay off homes = no lost homes.
2)Get rid of Social Security; Invest in IRAs to retire because Social Security is bankrupt.
4)Government gets paid in taxes (about $250 billion comes back).
5)Economy no longer suffers.
