If banks use this money to actually help the people insted of remodeling CEO's offices and making things better for the golden parachutes....Oh my! What am I talking about? I must be living in some dream, thinking stuff like these same people who have ran us so far down will really do the right thing now.

I agree with you here, and I fear there is only more of this to come. The masses nod along so easily, driven well by the media who worship certain parties. Thought-provoking, indeed. Edwin hit the nail on the head in his comment.

Jon,
There's heat and passion in your voice here, the poet unafraid to speak out when he sees injustice, favouritism, elitism, corruption even and a fall from grace and decency... and the burning question where have the old values gone? Bravo, Sir!

Good write...How better to pay off the special interest cronies reponsible for putting this administration in power than to utilize "politics of fear". The rush to pass this pork-filled so-called stimulus bill should raise alarm. It is nothing more than outright thievery to pay toward the advancement of a socialist agenda. It is sad that this country must endure unqualified leaders elected by the uninformed

I like what you say here, Jon -- but how in hell can we ever
get things done when we can't get a concensus from the people
we elect to get things done? Write on, my friend. -gene.

The rich get richer and the poor ... well you know. Right in the a --. :( Sad. Would love to see those fatcatz living on my VA disability - less than $250.00 a MONTH!! Nope: they get their bonuses. What do we get? A kick in the pants. Thank you for your service!!!! Powerfully penned, I'm just as frustrated.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Hey Obama says spending is stimulus chiding the Republicans. His cronies gave him a big hand as they were all democrats he was speaking to. Yes spend to create jobs not add a lot of pork which is 2/3rds of this package. And if you don't pass it we are gonners. What a bunch of crap.

You make valid points here. I especially find truth in the part about our children's children paying the cost. Verily, they will be without funding when they retire. The rich continue to line their pockets. Great write for raising awareness. Hugs,
