Can we blame big government spending on entitlement? Should all entitlement spending be grouped together with corporate bailouts? Will needed entitlement spending be dumped into the sea with bailout spend-a -thon?

This is a powerful and very important issue right now. Even the news companies are taking off their gloves at this point
ReplyDelete(Fox: Conservative Rep.,CNN: Liberal Dem).
It is frustrating to be in such a helpless position while government passes a "stimulus" package that no-one even read or had time to review (24 hours to read a 1000 page document).
It does seem like the gov't is using an entitlement approach to spending.
I wonder what would have happened if the gov't said "tough" to the big companies. That's what happens to the people of America. No-one bails you or me out if we are financial crisis. If they did, what if we used that money to buy a BMW?
This is a slap in the face of hard working American families.
So like Dan, as I see all of this spending going on, I tend to feel helpless. There really is not a lot we can do about it as the government consistently dumps monies into companies that may or may not succeed and spend our hard earned money on things that we would never imagine. Yes, I think the government should be blamed in this situation. But, who are we kidding? They will keep doing what they want to, no matter what party is in office. They are the government!
