Its too bad Hamas and Israel rejected the UN Security Council’s resolution for peace but not unexpected. I’m looking forward tonight to see what is next on the quest for peace and an end to terror for both sides. I hope there is some good news on this one because I sure don’t expect any good economic news.

Two steps forward, three steps back…it’s like a bad dance where everyone wants to lead but never any good rhythm continues

Why is it so hard to give the bale out money to the tax payers after all
Where the ones going to stimulate the economy.

My son works at a video company in Redwood City, CA that cut 25% of their company today. No indication, no warnings, just people told to take their personal belongings Turn Off Your Computer and go to one of two rooms. Those in one room were told about the cuts and those in the other were told they were terminated and to leave immediately. Police were present. My son and the room he was in were told to take an extended lunch and when they returned –sent home early. It was an unsettling and nightmare day. How many others are experiencing similar situations and how many more will? There is panic brewing and rising that has never before been experienced in this country.

I don’t understand this whole situation. If Canada started firing missiles at the US do you not think the US would respond. I wouldn’t want to hazard a guess as to how many seconds it would take the US to respond. There would be jets over Canada before you brewed your 2nd pot of coffee. Am I being to simple minded to think that all the Hamas have to do to bring this matter to a conclusion is stop firing Missiles at Israel. Isn’t that what prompted the Israel attack in the first place.
I am not talking about Middle East peace here, that seems to be an impossibility, just an end to this 8/9/10 day war.

It’s really sad and heart-breaking to see those images of wounded children walking in the streets without their parents. I don’t think they are aware of resolutions or request for cease-fire. If the United Nations can not do anything about this, who can?

People always ask that question, but I never see an answer.

I think it would be one of the best ways too. Give everyone $5000 or $10000.

Gasa is to Isreal as Cuba was to the US. Bringing in sophisticated rockets from Iran or China puts the Isreal nuclear facilities in the Negyve desert under threat.

Stimulate the economy. Lower the retirement age to 55-60 with full social security and tax free access to 401K. Fund Social Security with stimulus money. How many jobs would be created…millions?

Credit cards rates need to be regulated.

I think it is important for people to understand that Hamas really brought this upon themselves. If you believe Israel is a legitimate country, they are not guilty of anything, and deserve world support for defending themselves.

Bailout Mainstreet Too
Economists keep calling for the most efficient bailout, and for helping Mainstreet; if they mean it then why do they endorse bailouts for bankrupt businesses, corrupt banks, and the fat cats on Wall Street? It’s much more efficient and would be much more popular to bailout mainstreet–we the tax-paying voters. It’s our money after all. Give each taxpayer a credit card with a value of, say, $100,000. Force us to spend it (rather than saving it) by giving us the funds as value on a credit card. (The banks were given their bailout money with almost no strings attached; therefore in order that we actually spend the money it needs to be given in the form of a credit card). In addition to spending on infrastructure, green energy, shovel ready projects etc. this would be the most direct and most popular form of bailout and would produce the fastest results.

we need more jobs in america in order to re-construct bridges the correct way.

I am tired about hearing bailouts for everyone. I hear the major news saying it was 700 billion for wall street (I thought it was 1.4 trillion) we already gave 700 billion before and now the auto makers are getting a bailout -Why ? They made money on their own mistakes not us. Now I hear another bail out is coming .. for who this time,(the airlines)? The average person is not getting any bailout,I have seen two people close to me loose their homes. I am worried that any more companies that get bailed out are just giving money to pay themselves out. It is not fair to bailout someone when they are only worried about themselves. Stop bailing everyone out period !

I like answer ,why did the goverment never even try to bailout the american people losing there homes.We are the working ant
solders,feeding the Queen goverment,what do they get stupid
check to pay the goverment back……….
