I really don't hear anything promised by "troll-like" John McCain or Gov. Palin that sounds like something most Americans and those living abroad wouldn't dearly love to see come to pass; in fact, I myself applauded every single thing "genial" Barack Obama was shown in USA media passionately exhorting: world class education for every single child, world class healthcare, and a laundry list of jobs that will be available upon passage of the bailout, assumedly without new job losses elsewhere and without pay or public or private budget cuts. I understand that per media just because Obama orated thusly, Wall Street and in fact a clear majority of everyday people (except pockets of bitter racists who can't stand to see a non-white President) instantly converted to thirst for the trillion dollar bailout, as-is.
The problem is, even Obama and McCain opposed the same trillion dollars under the same "golden parachutes to private parties" once proposed by Bush a few years ago, only then pled for on grounds there was a social security crisis and the same cash to the same parties was needed just to save Social Security alone...separate from other political issues and the general economy, and opponents like Obama and McCain said it would devastate homeowners, education, healthcare, jobs and wages.
Again, like any sane person on earth, I would hope my country WOULD actually act like its good-intentioned politicians have promised. But I just continue to not understand how taking the same bill as Bush proposed, retitling it "economic recovery bailout", and ignoring that it puts every dollar in the money supply manifestly into the hands of government salaries and a relatively few elite private parties is not either going to leave promises unpaid or paid for with more debt there's no money without cuts to repay...also, domestic DHS (at a time interest in foreign-born terrorism fighting is waning while Muslims aren't the expected next immigrants) being part of Federal and cloned State infrastructure, perhaps Obama might better describe what he means about "lots of jobs in infrastructure" once he's installed...if he meant roads or sewers or bridges, you'd think he could mention it and at the same moment have a plan outlined with costs.
I as a Conservative of course lean toward McCain, but if Obama can clearly opine and stipulate exactly how the bailout won't negatively affect everyday people everywhere, I'll earnestly consider voting for him if McCain can't THEN do better. Otherwise, it would seem that no matter who wins, they're going to be the same "Bush third term" re policies Howard Dean up to now has only been accusing McCain and GOP of being.
One withholds, in the pendency, presuming such trillion dollars HAS been done such way years ago, and all things have just been a game of chess to ensure its permanence until "retroactive" enabling laws could be secured and "infrastructure" made quicker and more modularly flexible...with it seeming most folks in America are now atheists and suspicious of why clergy want to visit those in jails or hospitals (per extant Federal law).
