Senate, Congress and the Executive branch have ignored various emails and solicitations to support the one addendum that would place the taxpayers in the drivers seat "PROPOSITION 3V". It's the taxpayers that will footing the bill for the overall bailout, not international investors and bankers on Wall Street. Details are on the website www.the3rdvoice.com This site was created to invite both parties to respond to the negligence they have displayed towards the taxpayers thoughts. They continue to decline comment. The ideas may be a bit radical, but it's the concept that is important: Why would we only bailout big business, and not the taxpayers themselves? How can 3 million jobs affect a population of over 303 million people, only 1% of the population, when the unemployment rate is 7.6%? Why do our lawmakers continue to stay vague on where the funds will go? Lots of pork being added to the amended versions of the final stimulus plan.

Regulating what kind of treatment you can receive for healthcare does not create jobs (ok - well maybe more bureaucracy (i.e. government jobs) that says you are too old or sick to get treatment). Money for honeybees does not create jobs. Money for electronic medical records does not create jobs (only temporary ones to set up the system.. it doesn't fund salaries for people to run the system) - and I don't want my medical records electronic.

Banks were supposed to use the funds to 1) restructure the loans that were delinquent, so people could pay their mortgages 2) start lending to new people. They were NOT supposed to sell the bad debt. They were supposed to find a way to make those debts work. They have done neither. intheformation- you miss the point of the bank bailouts… it was to be a two-pronged approach.

Here is a comment...."I watched Geitner, and Obama,and then even Franks talk today. What a nightmare. Geithner and Obama both look like deer caught in headlights. What a bunch of idiots. This SPENDING bill is a nightmare for both the economy and taxpayers. NO NO NO. It is past time for another Tea Party." I wish I were more of an economist, and so I am trying to get a better understanding behind this type of thinking. I understand the frustration that people have behind funding the big banks more who loaned money they probably shouldn't. Now, these banks can't find investors to buy up the bad debt. It seems the reason for the bad debt is that people are out of work, or are working at low paying jobs, and this has halted spending. To my understanding, a stimulus check, or tax break might cause a small boost, but is a one time deal, where the creation of jobs would be more of a long-term benefit. I know people don't trust the big government after spending so much on the war, but if the government does spend that money on advancing industries like renewable energy, rebuilding out-dated structures, and perhaps building technologies which a new generation of baby-boomres are going to need, wouldn't that help get us out of this mess? I would think that could create long-term good income which will have other contries buying into America again. There might be another approach so that is why I am asking, but I don't really understand from a practical standpoint (I understand from an emotional standpoint) why some people are so against the government spending to get us out of this mess. Sorry for the long post, but want to accurately pose the question: what other options do we really have, and how will they work?
