so, um....if have a loan w/the government, for example, my student loan....can we just forget about it since they have loaned my government money to them for bailout? um.... afterall, would that mean that for next year, i don't have to file taxes, because the feds used my tax dollars for the bailout? afterall, like any bank, there is interested accrued on a loan... um...um... so where does the people of the united states benefit from this bailout? are going to collect an dividend check or is the fed going to use it on my behalf and never give it to me... or they going to tax it too, even though it was the fed's that gave my money away w/o my approval... and look, how many other businesses are asking for a handout? 3 automakers - what about the other automakers in this country? are they failing? if you think about it, they lost money because of the gas hog vehicles they had on the market and it was not moving due to the gas prices... now i hear, they decided to drive their precious hybrids to visit congress, instead of the private jet... what happened to a carpool? that would show they at least care. afterall, how many hybrids found that alternative fuel station across the country? um...um...

can i ask for a refund of my electoral vote? or take back my vote due to failure of my congressman or senator for not stepping correcting other issues.... afterall, why can't a big company fail? little ones do and we don't make a fuss. so if owned a little company and needed a bailout - could you loan me the money w/o interest? um...um... something to think about! it should not matter how big the company is, if their is a failure then you as a company need to talk w/your shareholders and the executives who have a big payroll... afterall, that company is responsible for it's own finances and then having to say goodbye to some of its employees... companies come and go!
