Hmm, I really don't believe that GG has stated that some assistance to the financial market is unwarranted. And, the people with whom I've spoken, have all pretty much agreed the same thing. And, those same people weren't happy with the bill as presented.
We (my small world) want to be educated. We want to hear something other then unbridled fear. I haven't gotten anything from my representatives that I wholly believe or find completely logical. The only consistency I get from nearly everyone behind the bill is that a collapse is imminent. We are being told we need to be scared; I'd rather be told how to be brave.
Okay, so about the class warfare... My class is not getting direct help. Our help is supposed to 'trickle down' from the top. We don't trust that mechanism as it has not produced any benefits for us in the current past. So, once again, we are being told 'Trust Us' when we, in fact, don't. Give us more.
What about giving help to both ends? Bottom and top? Because, I'm sorry, helping only the top is fucking bullshit.
