U.S. should operate more efficiently
The bailout amounts to $2,333 for every American, all 300 million of them. Is this correct? I don’t want to rush into another thoughtless decision that will cost everyone with no benefit to the people.
If I make bad decisions, then I must deal with it. No big brother to bail me out. Is this the right thing to do, or could the money be better spent on the average American?
The tax I pay is already too high and going up when it really should be going down. The government needs to run like a household. What you have needs to pay the bills and saving some for a rainy day. If the average person ran their finances like the government does, we would all be living like in the 1920s.
There needs to be something in effect that looks at what we are paying for stuff as compared to what an average company would pay for the same thing. If this were known, I bet it would be shocking. We need to operate more efficiently and quit selling the U.S. to other countries.

The Roaring Twenties? You mean, we'd all be livin' it up, doing the Charleston while unknowingly pushing ourselves closer and closer to one of the greatest financial disasters this country has ever seen? Seems familiar......
