I don't really post that often on this forum and I don't think I've ever started more than 1 or 2 topics here but this Government bailout matter has me more riled up than a grizzly bear who just raided an Africanized bee colony and is on the run while being stung for a mile or so.

What has me more outraged than the actual bailout is the attitude of most American's in that they really don't give a rats ass because it ain't coming out of their pockets after all. I mean the Government just runs the printing presses longer and prints up more money right?

Maybe when the next president takes office no matter who it is round about February 09 he goes on T.V to address the nation, I can hear it now. "My fellow Americans, as you all know it will cost around 500 billion dollars or more to resolve this situation so you know that $2500 tax return you got last year? This year you ain't going to get it. As a matter of fact every taxpayer no matter your income level or tax bracket will remit a check for $4,000 to the IRS."

Do you think that would outrage people some. probably the president would have to hide from the public because his life would probably be in serious jeopardy if he ventured outside.

So the Government will sell bonds and get loans from foreign investors to pay for this and some day a bunch of foreign investors will appear with their notes in hand at the Treasury dept and say we want our money and we want it NOW.

What then?
