The government is trying to raise the tolls on bridges to $12 one way to pay for their shortfalls. As far as everyone knows, salaries aren’t going up. The American people are lucky enough to have any job at all. The high profit companies that use the bridges should have to pay higher tolls to offset their big profits that never get taxed.
Our financial crisis can be attributed to our sex crazed congress that can’t seem to attack the $14 trillion deficit problem. Far bigger is other balance sheet problems. For example, Medicare is $80 trillion and Social Security is $7 trillion unfunded. Our credit rating has defaulted What does that mean? It means the American dollar can quickly become the Mexican peso, not worth much!

We need to get serious with poorly run essential companies. Obama was well intentioned by giving companies bail out money. But he just gave GM and AIG cash with no congressional committees to oversee the spending process. When a teenager totals his car, you just don’t give him money to buy a new sports car. No, he has to work hard for his next car or he walks. Even Diane from Ohio knows that.

The fear that the consequences would have been greater is bull crap. The CEO’s of those companies showed up in their private jets to get American people tax money! What they should have done is zero out the shareholders, nationalize the companies, turn them over to the bond holders. Tell them your bonds are worthless but now you own the equity. Any money or liquidity you need the federal reserve will stand up and provide you cash.
Throw the CEO, CFO and the risk officer of any company in trouble OUT fire the bastards that already pocketed millions in bonuses and inflated salaries largely untaxed. America is about to default. Let the banks we saved save America! Lend us money and we’ll pay you back uh whenever duh!
Why the delays? America is broke because we have three parties. The Democratic, The Republicans and the Tea Party group all fighting with each other with no compromises. The tea party is known for their peaceful protests. The democrats want everything for free and the new Republicans run by the Christian rite want to pray for change.

Americans love America! During World War II all the men were overseas and all the women were working their jobs as well as the men’s jobs. After 911, patriotism was at an all time high and everyone pitched in to help. Some of our best soldiers were recently killed in a helicopter accident and since 911 our children have been volunteering to fight and die and to come home dismembered for this country.
