This economic bailout has now become the MOST EXPENSIVE SINGLE EXPENDITURE EVER! More money then we’ve ever spent on ANYTHING ELSE. It’s more then twice what we spent on WWII. WWII cost $228 billion at the time, adjusted for inflation that’s $3.6 trillion. Only half of what we spent on the economic crisis.

It’s more then we spent on the Louisiana Purchase for those of you who don’t know the purchase cost us $15 million at the time (1803) Adjusted for inflation that’s $217 billion. Would you spend that today for the Louisiana Purchase?

The bailout is 33 Louisiana Purchases. Except instead of spending the money for land you are spending it to save questionable companies I’d say let them fail, if they want to survive they will fix themselves. At the moment they don’t have to fix the problems in their company, they beg for money… and get it.

OK, fine, I’ll bite. Let’s just say it’s all needed money (which i don’t think it is) I can get by with that. What I cannot get by is how fast they money left the funds of the U.S. It seems like they didn’t even CONSIDER where it was going. They just threw money at the problem. That makes me sick. Nothing short of physically sick. I hope our government does not continue to spend like this. This is all money that’s being added to our Debt. We haven’t had time to raise it. We’ve just borrowed it from people (China) or printed it (making the rest of the dollars out there less valuable)

We cannot spend our way out of this, even more so with money we don’t have. We need to THINK our way out of this, we need to CHOOSE our way out of this. But we can’t do that if every time we choose the Government comes in and says “no, the people of this country are making the wrong choice” That’s the truth here, people are not buying enough GM cars to make them profitable, so we’ve made our choice…

It’s time to get conservitive with our money, then it will start becoming valuable again. Goverment needs to step out and let the PEOPLE decide which companys should fail or survive. THAT IS DEMOCRACY!

Now, if this all seems pro-Clinton I do not really mean it too. I’m just stating the facts. She CAN come back. I don’t think she should in fact I would have had her leave EARLIER. That’s all I really have to say about that news today.

Oh wait, one more thing. If you did not see the speech she made suspending her campaign, look it up. It was one of her best speeches, in fact it may have been her best. If she had been making speeches like this during the whole campaign, even just the beginning, I think this result would be VERY different. If she had started sounding like this… I think she could have won.

Obama: “Because of you, tonight I can stand here and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States.”

Clinton: “Now, the question is: Where do we go from here? And given how far we’ve come and where we need to go as a party, it’s a question I don’t take lightly. This has been a long campaign, and I will be making no decisions tonight.”

So, He’s claiming complete victory and she’s not saying she lost… Yet. It’s going to be hard for her to stay in much longer. However, in her defense now, these are not actual numbers, these are not solid numbers, these delegates can pretty much vote however they want when they get to the convention. So, she could take it all the way to the convention force the vote, just to be sure, and have a logical argument. Statically… this is a close race still. In Obama’s defense, he has enough that will vote for him for sure pretty much that it’s a done deal. And everyday this goes on hurts the party as a whole. I know it’s hurting the democrats in my eyes after some of the stuff that’s been going on.

I’ve been told by my father that Obama’s speech was excellent. I will be printing both out and reading them. I will scour for other things in these messages. Who knows?

On another note, as of RIGHT NOW (6:13pm Central Time) Obama has 2,108 delegates. Remember the target changed to 2,118. So that if he picks up 10, only 10 delegates he will be the outright winner.

But the question remains… Will she leave?

I know how many delegates are being added into the system overall, but I don’t yet know what the breakdowns are for pledged/supers. I will get that information as soon as I can, but as you can see, we are 93% done with this race, vote wise, by my math.

Clinton got a victory today, though not as big as she would have liked, they were still seated in her favor. However, one of her supporters on the rules committee ‘reserves the right to take this to the convention’ Wow. The Obama supporters, said very little, in terms of pro-Obama speak, I watched most of what happened on that floor. Talk about Sore WINNING!

Both Obama and Rev. Wright need to shut up about it… and wait… SO DO THE MEDIA!

I disagree with what Rev. Wright said. As does, I believe, most of the country. However, IT DOESN’T MATTER!

Obama, has answered the ‘patrotic test’ now. And it came up, Obama has given his answer, that should be enough.

I don’t like to inject my opinion into this blog very often, but I couldn’t keep my mouth shut about how they should keep their mouths shut.
