Bailout Bill Fails To Pass in the House of Representatives

No I don't think it is our job. I'll bet if you look up the CEO's, CFO's and any other high ranking executive in the companies involved their salaries and bonus' alone would make a HUGE dent in their financial issues. If the executives made poor decisions, shouldn't it be their responsibilty to bail themselves out? Isn't that what they get paid these huge salaries for? Isn't that what we, the taxpayers have to do and are expected to do?

I am so tired of paying taxes on everything they come up with. We are paying enough and are working seven days a week just to make it right now. I wish they would do something quick and quit putting it on us hard working people to take care of all of the time.

No, it is not our responsibility. You have CEO's and other company officials who have made these bad decisions and have allowed the companies to get into the shape that they are and they should be the ones to fix it. Will the House just step in and take over the responsibility of my utility bills and house payment for a few months. If so, I will take over the mess that they have gotten us into on Wall Street.

WOOHOO!!!!!!! Finally, someone in Congress developed some cojones!!! No - it is NOT our job to save people whose greed caused the problem. They want to b1tch about the poor needing help even as they suck as much of our money up as they can and then they want even more? They are the worst kind of leech - one that makes you believe they are doing you a favor even as they drain your blood!!!

I think the bill is crap and the stupid dems are paying the price for it. They are up for re-election and I hope everyone of them gets tossed out on their butts. Its is not my job to pay for somebody elses mistakes just as I'm not going to give money to a person who doesn't think they don't have to assume risk. I won't get anything from helping Wall Street, you won't hear a thank you or a sorry from any of them because hey, they didn't do anything wrong. I think the House should write a bill saying that any dem who voted for this bill be stripped of their title and they have to go back to their budget cuts and the first thing cut is their salary based on how much they make, that will pay back the American people. I don't care if every body got a $3.00 dollar check from their congressman, the people that knew about this did nothing, they should be the ones to pay, frickin libs, I hate em!

Hi Bd200789, I don't know much about the bill but I know it will come out of the taxpayer's money, it makes me mad, which everythng the goverment do comes out of the tax payer's money, it make me sick. Tamara

It's not the tax payer's job to bail out wallstreet. If anything, it is wallstreet's jobs to ensure the safety of the tax payer's money. No one ever bailed me out when I needed them, so I just saw to it that I never needed to be bailed out. It is the responsibility of Wallstreet to do the same.
