How do you choose who to bail out?

Well the last few days have been exciting. The leader of our country the FEDS are making bailout decisions with our money. Imagine how many homes the government could bail out with more than two hundred and eighty five-billion dollars. That amounts to the riches' person in the world income five plus times. Now I am not saying the bailouts were not needed, and I'm not even saying it was a bad idea. What I am asking is how do you get on the list that Lehman Brothers, and Indy Mac etc. are on.

How do the Fed choose who has to lose, and what will the American people get out of it? Yeah I know most people will say jobs, but businesses close every day. And lately people have lost jobs every day. I don't see the Fed trying to save those jobs. I think the biggest problem we have here is some old farts manipulating our economy. Now Maybe I'm a little different from most but all I see is a banker bailing out his friends. You see no one is taking into consideration all those individual investor losing their hard earned money.

We need to get rid of the Fed and return to the gold standard. So our Government will have to control spending. When will we learn that greed is not good, and stop spending money we don't have? Will we ever learn from our history? Do we have to repeat it every ten years?

For some reason I feel like this was a great setup, you know they change the law and allow banks, insurance company's, and investment companies to compete in each others business. Of course it suppose to be good for business, and create competition. We take all the controls off of the energy company's, then we change the bankruptcy laws, we put it all in a hat, shake it up and wah la, we have a hot mess.

Well people I have news for you, we have done the same thing in the telecommunications industry, we have done the same thing in the media industry, we have done the same thing in retail, entertainment, and now we are doing the same thing to the health industry, will we ever learn. Well we now do know one thing, which is if your company is big enough, and you have the right friends, the US taxpayers will be forced to bail you out. So small companies, I am sorry, but you are out of luck this time. Isn't it kind of funny how they spend our money without asking. But that's just my opinion.
