Well here we go again BAIL OUT we pumped Million's into the Alaska Pipe Line to cut down on the purchase of foreign oil, they plan on giving tax cuts to every one but those that need it and deserve it. Fund non Americana's and punish us that need jobs. One man's answer made more sense than the Idiot's in the House and Congress. Give the American ( Real Citizens) People over the age of 25 $250,000.00 deduct taxes let the people pay off mortgages, cars and credit card debt. That puts Million's back in circulation feeds the banks and the fat cats are left out.
