For a number of weeks now, we have been watching Wall Street continue to crumble before our very eyes. We have all listened to the ‘experts’ give their ‘opinions’ on how to solve the financial mess we find ourselves in, but not once have I heard any of them entertain the idea of giving that $700+ Billion back to the taxpayers. It is our money to begin with. So what’s the worse that could happen? We’d take the money and put it right back in to the economy. People would save their homes from foreclosure, purchase gas, food, clothing and instead of the trickle down method of revitalizing the economy, you reverse the process and make it a trickle-up situation.
The other part of this catastrophe in the making has to do with giving that monumental amount of money to the very people who got us in to this mess to begin with! The players haven’t changed. What makes anyone think the outcome will? A lot of people at the top have built substantial financial wealth and amassed a phenomenal amount of material things on the backs of the working stiff and now it is the people on the lowest rung of that ladder who are left holding the bag, which is now empty.
This is not a personal tirade, this is what I hear from viewers and the general public in grocery stores and at my kid’s football games and practices, and I can’t say I disagree.
I’m interested in your opinion. It’s fine if you disagree because I’m interested in what you have to say. Please feel free to post your opinions and comments here on my blog. We might just read some of them on the air.
