Our government

I really wish I had something to write, but you need to be doing things before you can write about it. I could write about the elections but that would be depressing. Or the economy which would be even more depressing. Or our congress which might be the most depressing yet.

I feel personally like there are no good choices for president. There are even fewer choices about the economy. Everyone is screaming that we have to do something, but then they admit that they don't really know what will work. I do believe that Congress actually listened to the people and voted the bailout down. They are getting calls and emails at the rate of 100 to 1 against the bailout and still nearly half of the Congress men voted for it. The Senate thinks they know better than we do which is normal. get elected to the Congress or Senate and they seem to think they automatically know more than anyone else. How is that? They were just like us one day and an expert the next? I don't think so. If anything they get stupid once they are elected. Want proof? Want to be frightened before Halloween read the bill they are trying to pass. It is so full of pork it is a wonder it doesn't squeal. And still they admit they don't know it will help. It is a case of we don't know what to do, but we have to do something so lets spend nearly a trillion dollars.

It is still doing more to save big business than it is to protect you and me. I personally am sick of the so called experts talking to us like we were children telling us what has to be done when they can not even promise it will help or tell us why it will help. 70% of the population is still against the bailout. But you wait and see. Our duly elected representatives of our government of the people, by the people and for the people will still do what they want no matter what we think. It is really government of greed, corruption and who offers the most money under the table. Government does not represent us nor does it work in our best interests. You can bet that if elections were not so close that this bailout would be written in even worse terms than it is now.
