• @sedgewick It might involve sacrafices and adjustments. It might require us to shoulder certain burdens. But it is *us* that will push ahead #

• $25,000,000,000 for the Big Three auto makers. Congress awards them for failing to compete with the Prius, et al. Why not Tesla & Aptera? #
• Why in the world are we giving money to failing companies, instead of the leading innovators? Shouldn’t we BUILD instead of PATCH? #

• @bfia Is the bad paper just the mortgages? If so, isn’t it the banks’ fault for overvaluing the houses and then lending on that value? #
• Why is the Secretary of the Treasury talking about regulating the insurance industry?! Does anyone else find that odd? (Yes, AIG, I know.) #
• Tranches would be “a grave mistake,” according to Sec. Paulson. WTF?!?! Really, he needs $700B in one chunk?!?! #
• No. No. No. Call your Representatives today! That sealed it for me (no tranches). #
• @bfia Why do we need the Treasury to handle the reverse auction? #
• @bfia So what then happens to those assets (defaulted mortgages)? Don’t we still need someone (an actual person) to buy the home? #
• @bfia Didn’t the banks write the mortgs? Now they don’t want the losses? “They bought the ticket. They knew what they were getting into.” #
• @bfia So in the end, the banks bought them and now want my money because they made a bad business decision? (…and are being stubborn?) #
• @bfia So why can’t we let them hold the paper? Because they don’t want the losses? Are they essentially holding the economy hostage? #
• I disagree with Bernanke. We *shouldn’t* try to save every foreclosure we can. What ever happened to personal responsibility? #
• If the Big Three ask for a bailout next, I say NO! Give the money to innovators: Tesla, Aptera, et. al. Invent and Innovate. #
