Curious?

I'm curious how the whole current financial drama is going to play out over the next few days. I see that McCain wants to suspend his campaign to return to his real job and try and "fix" things.

Apparently his fix, and our current crappy administrations fix, would be asking American taxpayers to cough up our hard earned money. Where exactly do they think all this money is going to come from in order to fix things? I fail to see the logic of asking us taxpayers (some of us who seem to have our financial affairs in order) to pay for the mistakes of businesses and individuals who screwed up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I went out and overspent thousands of dollars on credit no one in their right mind would just give me the money to pay it back??

Crazy!

The US is headed for financial disaster. I don't care who gets in the White House, it's going to be a mess for awhile until "the government" decides that socialism doesn't work in this country. Both candidates just scare me...and most of the time I don't even pay attention! Let the companies (who were free to make the choice to have a business) who can't make it just go under...now that is a novel concept and just happens to be the American way.

I see it as survival of the fittest. Go Darwin!
