If our government is relying on the American tax dollar to fund the already passed $350 billion dollar bail-out relief program or TARP, the American taxpayer should decide how to spend it. Quite frankly, it seems stupid to give the money to failed Banking Institutions, Corporations and Manufacturers who we are already in debt or cannot afford to buy the manufactured product they produce. If “We, the people”, bail out these businesses and we are still indebted to them, isn’t that double dipping? If the banks have the money but we cannot afford to borrow, what’s the point? If the auto manufacturers produce cars that we cannot afford to buy, what’s the point? If the credit card companies (legal loan sharks) are bailed out do I still owe my minimum monthly payment? If the student loan companies are still able to lend to students that won’t have jobs to pay them back after graduation, what then?
