Now that all the hurrah is over, I'm just curious on how many were for or against the $700 billion bailout and if you'll let that affect how you will be voting.
I must admit I'm not very knowledgeable about politics, but the bailout has really gotten under my skin. I understand that we're in hard economic times. However, this bailout doesn't seem to be a comprehensive solution and further increases the burden on the taxpayers of America. Why we couldn't just let individual private banks fail is beyond me. I don't understand why there wasn't some sort of commission set up to actually help those individuals who are in foreclosure to assist them. It would have definitely been a much easier pill to swallow had that been the case.
So in my situation, I've taken a look at who voted for the bill and will most likely be voting against them, depending on other circumstances as well.
Here's a link if you're interested.
As for pres, I'm still debating what to do on that.
