This is not an opinion, it is respectfully submitted as two questions to all USA officials of any level everywhere.

 

I am a lifelong Republican in the sense as that party was at the time of Teddy Roosevelt; I am also a lifelong Conservative not in some "fundamentalist" sense(s), but in the ways writers as Hayek and William Frank Buckley, Jr. (Yale as well as Skull & Bones alum) were; yes, I am familiar with topics also such as Hannah Arendt was known for addressing, and have always supported our human intelligence, legal and police systems in such regard...nothing in me has changed.

 

Now, the current Dow Jones Industrial Index, full of steel and auto makers and such when I was born 48 years ago, is presently said to be made up of the most major stocks, not even whole industries anymore; drug companies, big-box Walmart, Bank of America, McDonalds, and computer and phone stocks dominate the index. 

 

As even FOX this morning reported, 90% of everyone in the USA despite demographics is against the current bailout; although even President Bush tells us everyone with retirement plans, IRAs, and portfolios will suffer unless any old bill is quickly passed, egregious parts taken out later (as was said when the 2003 Medicare reform passed in middle of the night), there must not be that many Americans of any stripe or persuasion who would find themselves in such class.

 

Whether or not they do, there also appears to be a pattern amid these successive "quick fix" packages of the past few years: first on terror or whatever grounds, Federal and/or local government(s) demand lower evidence standards on this or that, in Illinois et al currently on ANY offense period, so that triple hearsay would even be "conviction grade proof"; next or instead, such government(s) demand a little more police power of say-so grade; all of a sudden, whoosh...first Enron, then WorldComm, all fixed, only a third or less of "anecdotal pockets" losing out, "remaindermen, we're fine, we're fine...now cha-ching our own and Wall Street grade perks and packages in further proof of success"; then a little more standard lowering, some more BRAC and recruitment center closings notwithstanding comparatively cheap ads for recruits as both parties say today's folks are lilly-livered anyway, a little more "what can we do but bring oppressed foreigners here and leave their bad guys in power without preconditions"; another financial crisis, another quick fix with huge payouts to a very few and official salaries and perks again kited to "prove strength" against no more than 50% or so of anecdotals, who can presume if they run each other off things will improve; then some more standard lowering, more say-so powers like HR 1955 for nationals and 287g for immigrants, another financial crisis, and presently if executives and officials stabilize their own high-maintenance or not, "only" 90% of people would be anecdotal and if we overlook them the rest of us will be fine, just fine, this time for sure.

 

All along, business space and jobs and arts and creditworthiness seem to manifestly evaporate, with only more and more cheaply made housing and commercial facade/interior lofts sprouting constantly, and at a rate actually less in individual units than smaller housing and apartment units comprised in more industrial times; at first, it's said immigrants need this or that accommodation, compassion, whatever, and those who were here regardless of demographics can move away or into a continuum of mental health, homelessness shelter, or wherever...and actually, see how taking care of the ever-growing pile of losers (often tended to by this or that clergy) is souring it for the rest of us? Yes, even if that number hits 90%, we've turned the corner, and we're not going back.

 

Because of this confusion as just to when and how yet another bailout to a few, more housing starts, and credit to new parties only will prolong anybody's employment without further salary cuts in re a service economy dependent on an ever-more "exclusive" and shrinking pools of purchase-capable customers, I respectfully ask candidates and officials of all layers of USA government: How will the bailout increase the business of small or any businesses, and how will it put people to work or better-paying work, and not just stall yet another super-financial crisis until after the February 2009 criminalization of shortwave and any other broadcast media, together with anticipated ability of things like YouTube to block USA data as it does for China?   

 

Second and lastly, how will it also concurrently begin mending financial woes of everyday people in those lands to which much of USA campaigns and media are actually directed?
