Forget everything else. Here is why this bailout became a financial crisis and emergency virtually overnight.
The United States borrows $2 Billion a day from foreign banks, governments and corporations. These groups also own a ton of bad assets in bad mortgages in the USA and abroad, they are in danger of bankruptcy.
What they are doing in no uncertain terms is holding a gun to our head and saying, if the United States taxpayer does not bail them out, they will cut off our credit and destroy our economy.
Think I am wrong? go to these web sites, read the entries, WATCH THE VIDEOS and come to your own conclusion.
http://fedupusa.org/http://supportedthebailout.org/If this bailout bill passes, we the people of the United States of America will be saddled with the bad debt of every foreign investment bank, foreign government and foreign corporation for the rest of our lives and for the rest of our children and grandchildrens lives. The only way to pay for it will be to drastically cut popular government programs and to hyperinflate the dollar which will lead to abject poverty for our nation.
Think about whether or not you want to do support this bill.
