Is this the beginning of the earthquake?
Yesterday saw a major crash of the Dow Jones. Is this the beginning of the economic earthquake?
The House rejected the major bailout plan and of course the pundits are blaming that for the crash. I personally was against the bailout. I don’t want my tax dollars to go toward bailing out more businesses.
How about a taxpayer bailout? Why not send more help to us “little people?” The government is hoping and banking on US spending our hard-earned dollars on big-ticket items to stimulate the economy. Christmas shopping anyone?
How about sending a little help our way?
Help me buy my groceries, pay my mortgage, buy gas for my car and pay my electric bill.
That’s what my money goes for and it’s stretched tight enough to pluck a tune on.
My husband has a good job in the motorcycle industry - but now this crash has enacted a slow-down in that. Understandable. Someone who’s struggling to feed their kids shouldn’t be spending their money on a motorcycle. Unless it’s used and they give up the car so the bike will save gas to and from work.
I’m looking at the prices in the grocery store and they’re going up, up, up. The price at the gas pump is jumping up and down. Ends are having a harder time meeting up all around.
It’s getting scary out there and I think it will only get scarier.
I completely agree with you. We bailout large corporations but what about the Mom and Pop grocery store on the corner who has to close his business.
The people who are losing their jobs in record numbers because small businesses can no longer afford the salaries and benefits. Prices for gas, groceries etc… are rising and salaries are falling or non-existent.
WE are the ones that need to be bailed out.
