Money needs to go to small businesses so that they can expand and hire new people. All the big boys neeed to fail and then we will start from scratch. I grew up in the depression of 29 and we had the WPA that gave people jobs teaching chess, checkers, dancing ,ping pong, tennis, exercises, art classes, painting classes and on and on. These instructors were able to feed their families. Then new jobs opened up at the markets and soda shops as people had money to spend. New business sprang up. It was not easy and took a long time and then WWll came along and that brought everything back but over 400,000 service people gave their lives for our freedom and prosperity. No one thinks of that today. They are more interested in themselves than their neighbors and friends.</p>jbouletteTue, 03 Mar 2009 21:50:15 -0000http://beyondbailouts.org/?p=1286#comment-6855712<p>I have been fighting local,State and Federal Government actions for most of my life. I am 78 years young. I was told that you can not fight city hall and win. I took on an Air Force Base and won. I took on a School District and won. I write letters to my Congress man and Senators about all kinds of problems, especially their automatic raises that the Public in not aware of. I complain about the corruption in Government and felons in Office in Washington. I ask people to write and complain and they say my letter will not count. This is the reason we are in the mess we now have. We allowed them to rip us off and now that it is hitting the people in the Pocket they are concerned but apparently not conserned enough to stand up and be counted. I will continue to do my part no matter what. I am blacklisted from Government work due to my mess with the Air Force. I formed my own Union for the blue collar workers in ther School district. No other Union would touch them and they and there families were starving due to extremely low wages and no benifits while the teachers and the administration were getting fat. How sad. I had a court battle over that and I won. I will never stop fighting for my rights and the rights of a Legal Citizens regardless of the costs. GOD BLESS AMERICA.</p>jbouletteTue, 03 Mar 2009 21:31:01 -0000
