I am totally against the bailout because if we bailout these corrupt and incomptent finanical companies we are going to have to hear how capitalism worked.  Capitalism doesn’t work and the instituions should all go under to demonstrate it.  Use the $1 TRILLION for things that will actually help people — a NEW NEW DEAL.  Let’s start rebuilding the infrastructure and investing in the future by restarting the manufacturing industry in the country.  So-call “free enterprise” have eliminated virtually all of the manufacturing in the US.  It has shipped millions and millions of jobs to third world countries.  It has bankrupted the country.  The US should default on the national debt, create a new dollar, and start the country over.  There should be safety nets and services like health care for all Americans.  America can emege as a democratic socialistc system where the people actually matter once again.
