OK enough already with all the requests for bailouts. Why are we the taxpayers being asked AGAIN to bail out financially companies that have been mismanaged. Why should we bailout all these banks, insurance companies now automakers. All I want to know is WHO WILL BAIL ME OUT, if I am loosing my house will the government come with some money to help me, NO why should we help companies whose CEO's bailout on them after they have secured millions why should we bailout companies that have been so poorly managed they don't even know how much they do owe. If I can't balance my check book no one comes to help me, I don't want to hear it's for the sake of the AMERICAN ECONOMY, perhaps if they stopped and learned that making a better product is much wiser then making more profits things would change, stop rewarding these companies and try bailing out the taxpayer that is having difficulty, if I owe IRS money they would do anything to get their money,I'mtired of helping out large companies that refuse to help themselves and think only of profit and screw the public.
