4. That's an interesting concept
Edited on Mon Dec-08-08 02:59 PM by Citizen Number 9
Unfortunately the reality of the situation this week is just the opposite.

Financial company employees face the most drastic downsizings since the Depression.

As an addition, I'd have to point out that just because they are "bailed out" does not mean that they are so healthy they can afford to hire additional workers just to give them jobs. Maybe the .gov could just supply more money yet, but what would be the point of that?

Wouldn't it be better for the .gov to save the money to use on extending unemployment benefits as we need to get through this, or better yet, using it on infrastructure projects so something is actually created with it?
