It is so disgusting that governments around the world are bailing out banks that made stupid decisions and yet will not help people with their mortages.
Over here in the UK our government has spent billions saving bankers and their golden parachute deals whist their own nationalised bank Northern Rock is speeding up reposessions.
Fucking makes me sick.

    Well we did have some of those trillions. Who do you think is paying for all these bailouts?

    First of all the US government DID do something to help the homeowners (which I opposed).

    Secondly, we did have all of that money. It was tax money that the government took from us. We need to get lawmakers in there whol will drastically cut taxes and reduce the government's influence in our lives.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Well before we go cutting taxes we need to reduce spending. Cutting taxes alone will not help our economy.
