When do the American people who ultimately foot the bill for the bailouts count? When have they suffered enough that they matter to our government??</p><p>If they would have split that same amount of money up between all the taxpayers - CONSUMERS could have caught up their houses and probably re-financed, purchased houses and cars for the ones that needed to, bought stock and so on and so on.</p><p>It would have been an immediate jump-start to the economy (nearly overnight) and would have affected every sector that is experiencing problems including banks, automakers, retail, Wall Street and everywhere else. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE IN POWER SEE OR UNDERSTAND THIS???<br></p>ohioconsumerFri, 05 Dec 2008 13:52:48 -0000
