Same message to both Demos and Repubs.
Thank you House of Congress for not passing the F@#$!##% ! !#%##!% Bailout.
You coward bast#### Senators who voted for the passing of the bailout bill. SOB!

I and a hundred million of others don't give a ###### if the boat has a hole in it. Let the dam boat sink, and the guy who made the hole sink with the boat. We or I will swim to shore, and then salvage the dam boat and profit from it.
If they just let the ######## in wall street go BK, or get bought by others, then other companies, and regular people like you and I will finally have an opportunity to make some money. All the remaining banks and financial companies will be able to give even better rates because of all the business and benefits they get from those other banks and financial companies going under.
WE DO NOT WANT ANY MORE BAILOUTS. ####### CONGRESS already allowed too many bailouts that it should not have. Let them go under, and let the benefits go to us the regular folks. Let regular folks have the opportunity to gather the pieces and finally have a chance at the American Dream.
I don't give a dam if the members are democrats or republicans. If they vote to pass the bailout, then I say the People of USA create a committee to execute all of them.

Yeah, the boat analogy is fun, but since Wall Street is linked to Main Street, your also in the boat. I agree that the Bailout is not the best solution, but its better than no solution.

I know I am in the boat, as I indicated. Read it again; carefully. As I said, others and I are more than willing to swim to shore. We know that the sunken boat can be salvaged by others who will benefit and pass the benefits to the rest of us, and we know that any treasures that sink with the boat can be salvaged as well by us regular folks, and small businesses.
The solution is very simple, and obvious, but it does not benefit those on the top, and it does not benefit none of the senators and house members who have their investments in those companies that are in trouble or will be impacted by letting companies that are in trouble fail.
You think the bailout is to help the American population? BS! The politicians are trying to save their own butts and not lose their retirement investments, or lose those pretty backdoor payoffs they were promised.

The simple solution is to let them all fail, and get eaten up by other companies or new companies.

Which would be wise if the those companies were in a position to do so, but they are not and you seem to ignore the consequences of those bankrupcy on the small investors and beneficiaries.

The current crisis is not just felt by a few groups, but by the totallity of Wall Street. As such, the main effort will not be aimed at taking in those risky assets. Its actually more likely that foreign interests start taking over these groups, as they have suffered much less from the crisis.

As mentionned before, your vision also doesnt say what will happen to the clients of those banks and institutions. I agree that the plan itself is a strange way to solve this problem, but it is still better (and less risky) than inaction.
