I am not nor pretend to be an economic whiz. I don't know enough to go one way or the other on the bail out. I don't like giving money away for bad business practices, but I don't want to hurt the nation as a whole either. There is a solution, but the finger pointing and back biting has to stop. Roll up your sleeves and get to work and this time know for a fact it will pass or not. And the speaker of the house should shut her mouth and move forward with the plan . Not a big moral boost to put the other side on the defensive just before you want to pass a bill. We are in this together wether we like it or not. Fact is fact and we need to move on.
