I guess I let my being upset get the best of me, I didn't do the math. I'll crawl back in my hole and shut up. OK before anyone says anything, I’m stupid.

Why dont we fix the job drain which is at the root of all this mess? With this 800 billion bailout, Bush has picked our wallets for 4 times as much as the tax rebate he gave us. With politicians like this, we just have to make sure that the Billion they are talking about is the one that a thousand million, not million millions. Thats right.

"YOU" who "WE" elected are willing to "GIVE" 700 BILLION DOLLARS to corporations who do not "VOTE" individually. But, do put dollars in "YOUR" pockets, so it must be "GREED" on your part and not "LOYALTY AND HONOR" that drives "OUR" government officials. If I am wrong, than give each taxpayer "ONE MILLION DOLLARS - FREE OF TAXES FROM FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL", that is 138 million dollars plus processing - so rounded maybe 200 million dollars. What would I do with that money, not declare bankruptcy for one, pay my house off for two, pay all my debts, put some into savings and buy stocks. Speaking of BK's aren't those really up, so if you gave $1 million to each taxpayer and stipulated Bk's to be blocked for up to say 5 years and that say 25,000 is taxable unless invested in stocks or bonds. Wow, this is so easy... but I am sure that "OUR" government officials can make it more complicated, I have faith. I am, always have been and always will be a capitalist – so it makes more sense to pay less and push the money through the capitalist market in “True” capitalist manner, let the market (people = demand, market = supply) process the money. The loser's will be the companies that are not run properly and the winner's will be the American Taxpayer/Voter. Your Not So Happy United States Taxpayer. To “OUR” Representatives,
