i'm unsure. always a saver and never a debtor, i didn't start this mess, didn't flip a house. i understand the $700b bailout as proposed will cost about $2,600 per person. it happens i have that. so even though i didn't cause this, can i just write someone a check and then my life goes back to normal without the fear of collapsing what's left of my little world?
as i understand the conditions of this hostage taking, the world will end if we don't pay up. i hear that the bailout should fix the economy. what that means i don't know: it's gonna take $700b to what, reinstall the smoke & mirrors? does that secure the rest of my future or is this just a delay tactic? i don't have any children to pass this off on but i'd rather go back to work now than when this collapses again in 10 years, you know, when that $700b extortion payment runs out.
if this works, if it does whatever voodoo it is suppose to do, then i suppose, that sounds worth it. but what i'd like to know is why wouldn't the $700b bailout work. what assures me that i am not having the wool pulled over my eyes, besides that gun pointed at my head?
a contract is only good when it is not signed under duress.
