“We have every right to be angry about the bail outs; it always seems we are bailing out the wrong people (financials, car companies, insurance companies, etc.etc.) all of whom keep getting us into recessions or depressions decades after decades. Giving the taxpayer $300.00 in a rebate was peanuts and did nothing to help the consumers. It was peanuts compared to the billion dollar steaks and filet mignon we are giving to the banks and other institutions. It would be better to give every American who filed a tax return or holds a legitimate social security card $5,000(call it our bonus) each year over a 4 year period, that way housing will recover and spending will improve dramatically which would do a lot more for people’s confidence in the system all of which would end up in the wide system instead of what we have now the rich get richer the poor get poorer and the middle class disappears.”

“How about an invocation on the corruption of politics in Washington ?”

“Excuse me but how do you save when the average worker makes $15.00 an hour ask your parents how much they made for their labor and if they were just keeping their heads above water and living pay check to pay check I know working people who have'nt had a pay raise in 10 years,but over the years have recieved a stream of You have been pre-appoved for a credit card.Stop the B.S.”

“The more I see of this fiasco in the economy the more I believe the so called brains on Capital Hill have missed the bull’s eyes. (It reminds me of the Star Trek movie when Khan is trying to kill Kirk and Kirk shouts you keep missing the mark Khan.)
IT'S THE CONSUMER STUPID we need real money in our wallets not B.S loans or B.S credit cards
$5,000 per year for all taxpayers and legal social security card holder for the next 4 years would be a good start.”

“Replacing good living wages with cheap labor and creating a smoke and mirrors here’s a credit card to keep you happy economy is a scam. Even Henry Ford I'm sure a conservative realized you have to pay a decent salary to workers if you are to have consumers. The obscene compensation that CEO are getting is criminal more like the days of Rome or the aristocracy of France before the revolution and then a few heads came off. I hear some of these talking heads on T. V. saying that these CEO’s work hard for their money well I'll tell you what, the guy who picks up your garbage or the nurse who changes your bed pan or the waiter who serves you a meal works just as hard but in a different way and doesn't have the inside information or contacts to make what I call something for nothing money.
Fairness, transparency, education and accountably this is what the American people want and deserve. Otherwise we are doomed to fail and I would hate to be around if we find ourselves in a violent revolution.”

“I feel like were in some kind of giant government, big business Ponzi or pyramid scheme. Scandal after scandal, bail out after bail out and the American people keep getting screwed .In the recent scam Congress takes tax payers money and gives it to banks and other criminal players in this most recent scandal, who in turn loan it back to us at high rates (it’s like double taxation). The 8% return that the American people are someday suppose to get will not even cover the interest that will have to be paid on the money we borrow from foreign governments.”

“Damn it to hell every day I watch some talking head going over solutions to the economy or future action that might be taken and as usual they are missing the bull’s eye. You can yap all you want but until you keep repeating the mantra (Give every American tax payer and legal social security card holder $5,000 each year for the next 4 years) every day and show the American people how to get Congress to enact this plan your just blowing hot air and misdirecting the American public. Tell them what the real cost of the bail out is so far 7 Trillion and counting (up front cash, guarantees, loans, subsidies etc.etc. and that it works out to about $25,000 per American) Maybe what we need is a new French style revolution. They say that the last rebate didn’t do any good of course not would $300.00 do you any good, but I would bet $5,000 would help.”

“Or maybe it's time to set up the guillotines”

“We need an American Peoples Plan it’s not just the homeowners who are stressed, it’s all American’s.
I say give all American people who have filed a tax return or hold a legal social security card $5,000 dollars a year for the next four years tax free and lower the interest rate to 4% and we will get the economy moving again and restored confidence and hope.
To use an election slogan (IT’S THE CONSUMER, STUPID!) we're giving steaks and filet mignon to Wall Street, the banks and other institutions and peanuts to Main Street.
Main Street didn’t create this mess Congress is spending AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS for all these bailouts they should get their priorities straight.
It doesn't matter how much prices drop American consumers are not going to be able to buy!!!
That's because Americans have no real money in their pockets We don’t need more credit cards or loans we need real money in our wallets and fair paying jobs. Otherwise we are doomed to fail.
Enough is Enough. Decade after decade were always bailing out the wrong institutions and the wrong people! I have seen this same story played over and over again since Nixon.”

“WE THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA DEMAND
Want to talk about an American people confidence booster and a way to re stimulate the economy I have a simple solution. I hope you will take this idea seriously and kick it around, great ideas do come out of left field maybe you can figure out a way to get this passed thru Congress and pass it on to President Obama.
Let’s call it the AMERICAN PEOPLE’S PLAN
We have every right to be angry about the bail outs; it always seems we are bailing out the wrong people (financials, car companies, insurance companies, etc.etc.) all of whom keep getting us into recessions or depressions decades after decades. Giving the taxpayer $300.00 in a rebate was peanuts and did nothing to help the consumers. It was peanuts compared to the steak’s we are giving to the banks and other institutions.

It would be better to give the every American who filed a tax return or holds a legitimate social security card 1 hundred thousand dollars each over a 5 year period, $25,000 per year (total over the 5 years would equal Three Hundred, Billion) that way housing will recover and spending will improve dramatically. I know the conservatives will hate this idea calling it socialism even though its our money ,(they don"t have a problem bailing out their special interest"s) but there was a saying in a previous election (it"s the economy stupid) I would say now (it's the consumer stupid). Call your Senator and Congress person and demand this plan.”

“TO Ms. Maddow
We can see from Reagan on thru Bush that Trickle Down economics only works for what I call the gated community society. Not only do a select few decide what slice of the pie a majority of hard working productive people get, they want to control the pie making machine and give out a smaller slice of the pie.Call your Senator or Congress person and demand that they pay every taxpayer and legal social security card holder $25,000 dollars per year for the next 5 years(It will only amount to $300 Hundred Billion) which is a lot cheaper than the current bail out plan and would restore Americans lost hope of ever getting ahead can you imagine what it would do to restore the economy(We would have to control infation to avoid rip offs,but i must say YES WE CAN and push hard for our rights we have been ripped off for to many decades.

Thank you
Your Comment to Donny - will be as follows:
We have every right to be angry about the bail outs; it always seems we are bailing out the wrong people (financial's, car companies, insurance companies, etc.etc.) all of whom get us into recessions or depressions. Giving the taxpayer $300.00 in a rebate was peanuts and did nothing to help the consumers. It was peanuts compared to the steak we are giving to the banks and other institutions .Better that we give the American people 1 hundred thousand dollars each over a 5 year period, (total over the 5 years would equal two hundred, Billion) that way housing will recover and spending will improve dramatically.

there was a saying in a previous election (it’s the economy stupid) I would say now it's the consumer stupid.

If my math is correct we could give $25,000 dollars a year for 5 years to every taxpayer and legitimate social security card holder in this county for a total of $300 hundred Billion dollars which would do a lot more for people’s confidence in the system. We could stream it to a wider system instead of what we have now the rich get richer the poor get poorer and the middle class disappears.”

“I am 64 years old so i think i have seen enough of the political process over the years to make this statement (The more things change the more things stay the same only the face's change) this has been the pattern of history and until we can genitically enginner out of the human race Hate,Selfishness,Greed and Fear don't expect much to change
I think Obama is on the right track but don't expect the powers to be including the mass media(right or left ) to give up peacefully.
As to the wine drinker vs. the beer drinker i drink both but i get a better buzz off wine and i think the last 8 years of Bush shows what happens when you have a sloppy beer drinker in the White House”
