Here is an interesting approach:

America would never do that. We dont take from the rich and give to the poor remember. This ain't no robin hood.

We take from the poor to bail out the rich.

wtf?

But why do you deserve it?

700bil will buy every foreclosure up 2 times! The best way to give people money is letting them earn their keep and keep their earned.

I say LET THE BANKS SUFFER!!!

If it wasn't for there dumb ***** giving money to people that they KNEW couldn't pay it back, then we would not have to worry about a bailout plan. Then let the rich CEO's BURN. All the people with foreclosure's file bancruptcy, and liquidate all there items.

There. Problem solved.

I think the 85 billion dollar bail the country out plan sounds phenomenal, no real downside to it. I could pay off my student loans ($30k a year college ftl) and save the rest for grad school, and not have to take any more loans/grants from the government. They win that way too.
