These money transfusions and exploratory surgery that Paulson, Pelosi, Dodd, Reid and buddies are performing will result in a depression, if someone doesn’t get a handle on our government. Americans have to speak up it’s our country, families and future that we we’re fighting for at this time. What will our children and their children do if we don’t fix this mess?

What if we charged Uncle Sam a very high interest fee on our money that is being so freely passed out to those who were mismanaging their business? In other words, we don’t have to ask permission just do it, that’s what Paulson and cohorts do… 

We get a wake up call that Bear Stearns is in deep doo doo and needs to borrow a few bucks from us – believe the rounded out amount totaled 29 billion and change. Don’t remember being told when this money will be paid back, at what interest rate and when taxpayers can expect a check?

One day we wake up and we’re told that Fannie & Freddie have a severe case of fraudulent spending and are in debt up to their armpits. The next thing we know Americans are bailing out these “pet government” projects and we’re not happy campers, but starting to adjust to the idea that we’re not in control – our voice has been lost and guess what we’re going to work once again for Uncle Sam like it or not.  

Just when we thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. Those shysters in the White House are once again crying doom and gloom saying either kick in some more money and bailout AIG or else?????

So we did and then we did it again and don’t be surprised if AIG doesn’t bring their tin bucket begging for even more than their 85 billion.

By golly, don’t forget the Big 3 – they’ll be back hitch hiking or via bus, train or airplane, but no private jets. Why have the Big 3 been singled out and like Palin made fun of and ridiculed – AIG and the other lending institutions aren’t exactly the “Better than thou” model of honest business practices. Just who is it playing “God” in the White House deciding who will and who won’t receive a money transfusion?

Many banks are standing in line behind Citi Bank and of course non-financial institutions will follow shortly thereafter… So maybe we the people of the United States of America could have our voice heard or at least our presence felt if we had our employers divert our money paid for taxes back into our pockets. 

At least this would be one way to insure that the money we’re loaning comes back to the “lender.” Americans need to join hands, unite and stop our run away government! “May God Bless Each and Everyone.”

In other editorials, you’ve heard me mention freezing our bailout money. Bringing in a team of high powered economists who would initiate a stimulus plan that would do more than a little jump start here and there…

 I mentioned repeatedly that Paulson, Pelosi, Dodd and Reid are not qualified to take control of our money or make wise decisions. Here is the proof of that statement!

Paulson (Treasury Secretary) has egg on his face once again. Our bail out money, now referred to as TARP was not used for the original purpose to buy out toxic assets. Paulsen said the money wasn’t earmarked for stimulating the economy, but for stabilizing the financial system.

That’s a hard pill to swallow, because nothing has been mentioned about oversight, government transparency or regulations. Americans must know the lending insititutions receiving our money, what rate of interest they are being charged and what occurs in the event of default.

Paulsen says he’s working on programs to assist homeowners by avoiding more foreclosures. It appears that once again Democrats played “Poker” behind our backs and the middleclass will be the ones to take the hit. 

There is still some TARP money in the kitty – contact your federal representatives and request a freeze on our money until a team of qualified economists are hired.

When everything is over but the shouting – the Democrats will point 10 fingers at the Republicans and blame them for misusing the “bail out” money. 

Here’s two sites to check out if you have any doubts about misuse of your money. Homeowners and the middleclass are last on the list to receive help.

Pelosi used her normal scare tactics and toted the “piggy” right into the brawl. She is one dangerous cat to have in our White House and like Mr. Obama her choice of friends is detestable. Nancy has ramrodded this “bail out” bill through like a bulldozer in a china shop. America needs to know that she’s the problem, not the solution!

There are some honest government representatives who have been fighting for us! Americans need to have their voice heard and the first line of business should be freezing the remaining money from the “bail out.”

Once that is done, we should aggressively concentrate on removing Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid from their nests in our White House.

Here’s what we do know about the “bail out” monies at this time. Over 2 trillion of our money has been handed out by Pelosi and gang. In order to get her bill passed, Pelosi blatantly allowed many millions in piggy projects to be slipped into the bill.  According to many economists and government representatives, we need to have experts (not Pelosi and gang) in charge of the “bail out” money.

The good news is this - many of our government representatives are ready and willing to place country first and help us work through the dilemma. Here are a few man and women who place country first and totally disagree with Nancy and friends. 

United States Senator – Jim Dement     Jim is available to represent us at this time and we certainly need a voice at the White House. 

BobGeiger.com: statements of Democrats opposing the “bail out.”

Check out Bloomberg.com: worldwide

If you think our government is honest, just go to this site and read an article about House Appropriations Committee Chairman, David Obey. Obey makes no bones about keeping the “bail out” negotiations away from the public sector; he’s not God and certainly does not have the right to make this decision. He fits the description of sneaky, irresponsible and a man with his own axe to grind. 

Below you will find a list of Democrats who aren’t happy with the “bail out” – take a few minutes time to email them. Ask them for assistance and support; we need to know where the money is going, why and who is doing the oversight and regulations. 

We deserve a daily report!  Americans, it’s time to get tough – don’t sink back in the confines of complacency and trust. This isn’t a good time to turn our heads or shrug our shoulders. 

Here are some Democrats who will support Americans and listen to our calls or emails. Go to: Complete Email Addresses for Senators, Congress and governors.

Ron Wyden (D-O), Jon Tester (D-MT), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Tim Johnson (D-SD)

Don’t forget to email: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi     sf.nancy@mail.house.gov
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid    senator_reid@reid.senate.gov
President George W. Bush   comments@whitehouse.gov

We have unqualified people handling and hiding our money. Not one of us would agree with those ridiculous earmarks that were slipped into the “bail out” bill. It’s our money, our dime and we need to get everyone’s attention in the White House. 

Both Republicans and Democrats should hide their head in shame, because they’ve acted once again irresponsibly and selfishly placing our country at risk. This is more than a little leak in the dam and a band aid is not a fix or solution. We need accountability and transparency in our government at this time – they need to earn our respect and trust.

“May God Bless America.”
