Now your talking. I know I am a conspiracy theorist and all, but this is the ONLY logical explanation for this. Were heading down a VERY similiar path to what got us into the depression I believe with all of the government spending, and I think it is being done on purpose this time to help mold the sheeple. But that's just me, I'll go back to my padded room now.

Remember when this whole thing started? Entire plan was a few pages and gave Paulson freedom to do whatever he wanted to do. Congress supposedly reigned him in. Now he's changing the plan and not buying up toxic loans but he now wants to bail out CREDIT CARD companies !!!!

Those bastahge loan sharks can get away with charging leg-breaker interest rates when you fall behind but now THEY need help? !!! Fer cryin' out loud, give me a break. This is one I'm contacting my Senators and Rep on.

And don't forget the automakers, but screw the homeowners. I never agreed with it in the first place. I feel if you can't afford it then too bad, you shouldn't have bought it in the first place. But if were going to have a bailout with taxpayers money, then shouldn't it help the taxpayers? Dark days are a comin, and I'm afraid we haven't even begun to see the bottom yet. Look at the DOW since obammy got elected, done nothin but go down for the most part.

if you dont pay your cc bill it goes on your credit report and no one gives you money to pay the bills but if the cc companies dont pay their bills they get tax payers money to pay their bills.....wtf??????? that right there is freaking ground for a bunch of pissed off people.
