I would like to know why the oil companies are not using some of those MILLIONS of dollars of profit they make each quarter to help bail out the auto companies??? They both feed off of each other. If they can’t / won’t bring the price of gas down or work harder in developing alternate, cheaper fuel sources for autos then they can invest some of their "profits" into helping out the industry that depends on their product and has done its best to ensure our cars are less efficient or do not use alternate sources of energy. Let the rich bail out the rich for a change....but nothing like maintaining the status quo...

So....where is my bail out? I have some hard to manage debts I would like to make go away...I would rather they took the 700+Billion dollars and gave 2 million tax free dollars to each working tax payer in America. The current estimate is what? 306 million U.S. population count? So giving us workers $2 mill each would cost about 600 million....MUCH less than the 700+ billion going to the rich bankers and mortgage companies that got us in this mess in the first place. We could then pay off our mortgages and if someone chose to live off the 2mill interest, people retiring from their jobs would open up employment opportunities for those who need jobs and have not had one, hopefully getting people off welfare. And if you waste away your 2mill....too bad so sad, guess you will have to work till your 100. Because of the current situation, I will have to. Our 401s have collectively lost near $100,000 in the last 6+ months. I won't get that back in the next 6 months; it would take me another 10 yeas just to get back to where I was instead of using that $100,000 to get farther ahead in the next 10 years. After 11 years on the job I am back to $30,000 in my retirement fund, my husband is at $60,000. Others have even less...I cant turn back the hands of time and be 24 years old again starting over...I'm starting over at 44.

Why is the first choice always to bail out the rich instead of giving back the people whose hard work and tax dollars keep the government running?? The government doesn’t want us to borrow money but they take our SS dollars and borrow that to pay other debts or finance other needs leaving us short. Then turn around and up my taxed so that I am paying back the money they borrowed from me to begin with leaving me nothing for retirement. But they got their retirement so who cares, right??

I am tired of sweating over paying off a$10,000 school loan and trying to figure out how I am going to cover the cost of daycare when that kind of money is nothing to these people, pennies, chump change...I'm sure big business is more complicated that my simplified view of it but I still would like some consideration and benefits to be shown to the US citizens that make this country work instead of the upper class always coming out ahead. We just keep falling farther and farther behind. But what do I know??? If someone out there smarter than me (and I know your out there....) can explain it so I stop feeling like I am working for nothing becuase I will never get ahead...I would greatly appreciate it.

Just my thoughts.
