Comment on House Denies $700B Bailout by Aaron Graves

Thank goodness this bill did not pass; allow me to explain. Yes, we are in a bit of trouble. Yes, something needs to be done. But I don’t believe that we actually need $700 billion dollars to fix this. And I don’t believe Sec. Paulson is the right guy to give the money to, coming from one of the wall street firms that got us into this mess. We need to go back to the drawing board on this, and find a smarter and cheaper solution.

There is, however slight it may be, a small good in all this - a foreign or soverign investment fund was not able to take substantial ownership in a company so tied in to the American economy.

I should mention that in a recent article by The Washington Post, the Fed has requested $40 Billion from the Treasury to pad it’s own reserves. Link: http://muhlink.org/1w

This AIG Group should be under investigation for malpractice. Once again, the American Taxpayers have to come to the rescue

As an aside, with an estimated population of 301,139,947 (as of July 20007), every American has provided $282.26 of tax dollars towards this “loan.” For that much of my money, I want an investigation at the least, and maybe charges filed.

Now, on a good note, the loan is a 2 year loan and the interest rate works out to between 11 and 12 percent, which is favorable to the government. But what happens if in those two years AIG goes ahead and files bankrupcy?

While I hate taxes as much as the next guy, as a younger individual I’m growing increasingly concerned with our nation’s debt. Cutting taxes is one way to be sure that debt never gets paid down. So I’m torn in my personal feelings of taxes between not wanting to pay more and not wanting to see our country become insolvent. So now what are your thoughts on raising/lowering taxes, and how that affects the national debt?

I’m certain that the team of McCain and Palin will be much better for the economy from a standpoint of they will not raise taxes, period. This Team is for smaller Government along with lower taxes. McCain and Palin may also attempt, (I hope), to lower the overall marginal tax rate.

By keeping taxes and Tax rates low the workers get to keep more of their hard earned money and at the same time stimulate the economy which in effect would create even more Revenue for the government. A win, win situation!
