Mildred- Sen Rockefeller flew in for only a couple of hours to support an investment that is helping our state and I'm assuming your city. As soon as the dinner was over he flew back to Washington to help find a solution to a problem Wall Street caused, not the finance committee (that had regulation taken away from them). So please check your facts before you accuse.

I think the people in Washington need to live on the means that the adverage person lives on and then they will know what the little people hve to live on

Jim I agree with you there are people out there that owe on the house they live in and cant afford things because of the state of this country. I agree people would go out and buy things and boost the economy if they could afford to.The big boys do make out and will continue to as long as we keep bailing them out.

The little guy will still loose their house, the bail out will allow the big guys who should have never loaned the little guy money in the first place, to buy your lost property for pennies on the dollar. leaving you with the bill, call CONgress TODAY!!!!!

SEN. ROCKEFELLER AS A MEMBER OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT GOT SO BAD AND WHY WAS HE NOT IN WASHINGTON WORKING ON IT? NO HE WANTS TO GO OUT AND TELL PEOPLE HOW BAD IT IS BUT NOT WORKING ON THE PROBLEM...THAT DOES NOT SHOW LEADERSHIP...

In short, the so-called "mother of all bailouts," which will transfer $700 billion taxpayer dollars to purchase the distressed assets of several failed financial institutions, will be conducted in a manner unchallengeable by courts and ungovernable by the People's duly sworn representatives. All decision-making power will be consolidated into the Executive Branch - who, we remind you, will have the incentive to act upon this privilege as quickly as possible, before they leave office. The measure will run up the budget deficit by a significant amount, with no guarantee of recouping the outlay, and no fundamental means of holding those who fail to do so accountable. In other words we will be held accountable as Tax Payers to repay the debt of all the so Called Golden Boys to make sure they get theirs. I have another suggestion Pay-off anyones home making 100,000 or less They will stimulate the economy by buying new cars ect ect ect, Once again the big boys are making out Sickens Me
