VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: What angers me the most is the way they toss around Billions Author: Barbara [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sat, September 20, 2008 6:14:31 In reply to: Teller 's message, "Who here thinks we should spend 700 billion to bail out the banks and Wall Street?" on Sat, September 20, 2008 4:42:45 and it's the taxpayer's burden. It doesn't matter who's elected. They will have to raise our taxes pretty big to cover all these bailouts. Lehman just announced 613 BILLION in debts. I know we're letting them fail but it just means more people without jobs, more people collecting unemployment and welfare and who pays the bill? Taxpayers. And we have no control over our money and how it's spent. Bush/Cheney should reach into their oil rich pockets and bear the burden of the bailouts themselves - after all, they created it. Can you say the word "GREED" ? The whole thing is nauseating. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
