God Bless Marcy for having our backs. In truth, I have been perplexed at what solution is the best, not having a strong grasp on the crisis itself or what the bailout could mean. But from a simple taxpayer's point-of-view, I am in awe that I am hearing we should foot the bill to bail out the corporate greed that brought us here, but nothing about giving back all of the foreclosed properties to the people who have lost them. The government has within their power to enact similar legislation to that during the Great Depression, where the government bought foreclosed properties and gave the home owners new loans they could afford - reverse mortgage until their wages rise, whatever. I am one of those statistics who have lost their greatest investment because of job loss and lower/stagnant wages. Again, we are stuck with a government who puts the wealth and excess of the highest earners of our country above the needs of the average American. And we are at great risk of doing the same thing to ourselves if John McCain gets into office. Someone so far removed from understanding his own wealth and quality of life compared to the rest of us can't possibly have the capacity to forge the changes needed to improve our economy and effectively lead us out of this mess.

Many of my friends predicted a second calamity the likes of 9/11 in the weeks leading up to election day. A homeland security incident of great impact was the only thing that might save McCain's ailing campaign by mobilizing patriotic emotions instead of rational thoughts. This may be the event we suspected was in the planning office of Messrs Rove and Co. Thank heavens there is such vociferous support for a closer look, a slower more thought-through solution to the mess we have allowed the unsupevised children to make. We must all pay attention this week - believe nothing until we have triple-checked the sources. No news outlet is to be trusted. These are truly interesting times.
