		<description>Glad to see that not only is Average Joe American having trouble deciphering the plan but a CPA also.  I really would like to find someone who can actually tell us what it all means .... Other than were screwed for a few more years because of a stupid government plan to help businesses that couldn&#039;t figure out how to not put themselves in the position they are in.

		<description>I wonder the same thing myself, Barbara. I just don&#039;t know anymore. The talking heads made it seem like Wall Street would go up if this was approved, but that didn&#039;t happen.</description>

		<description>Barbara - I started looking at the list in my original post and went cross-eyed. I am going to try to take a real good look this weekend and explain each one of them. *gag*

I&#039;ve essentially been against the bailout from the start. But this bill with all this nonsense in it is even worse than original plan that had little or no controls over dishing out the money.

I just don&#039;t think this is the answer!

Stay tuned for the answers to all of your questions!</description>

		<description>Tracy,  I&#039;m average Joe American and I have a few question that maybe you can answer for me.  I read threw the list of Pork as you call it is the bail out plan and was wondering what a few of the items really ment.

What are they talking about &quot;certain dividends&quot;??? This makes no sence to me what so ever.
&quot;Sec. 206. Treatment of certain dividends of regulated investment companies.&quot;

Why are we still discusing Hurricane Katrina???? The storm happened over 3 years ago.  When Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida back in 1992 no one down there cried for federal help like the people of New Orleans did.  They live in a fish bowl what were they expecting???  The area hardest hit by Andrew took about 10 years to recover.  It did not happen over night and funding from the government was not used except for FEMA handing out checks to people who did not really need them.  They also eliminated the Air Force base down there that strpped the area of a majority of it&#039;s working class fokes that helped the area thrive.  What exactly is this &quot;work opportunity tax credit&quot; they are talking about????
&quot;Sec. 319. Extension of work opportunity tax credit for Hurricane Katrina employees.&quot; 

Not really sure what this is exactly.  I know you get tax refunds for each child you have so i&#039;m not understaning what this is.
&quot;Sec. 501. $8,500 income threshold used to calculate refundable portion of child tax credit.&quot;

Doesn&#039;t the film industry make a killing on what they do to begin with.  What the heck is this????? 
&quot;Sec. 502. Provisions related to film and television productions.&quot;

Ok what the heck is this????  Wooden arrows???  what does this have to do with helping out the country????? 
&quot;Sec. 503. Exemption from excise tax for certain wooden arrows designed for use by children.&quot;


I truely believe the government is putting it&#039;s nose in where is does not belong...  A bail out plan will not help the country.  What would have helped was a better regulation of all those crappy loans the banks handed out to people who wanted to flip a house thinking they would sell the house and make a profit.  Over building in areas has created a big mess and people holding more that one mortgage who can not pay it did it to themselves.  Banks should have been a little more responsible and not handed a loan to someone stretching it a little who could bairly pay what they were looking to pay.  

I also feel if it was not for the &quot;Housing Crisis&quot; as they call it our unemployment rate would not be going up.  Companies would not be filing for bankrupsy (sp???) and we would not be having the stock market Fluctuating so bad.  There is no reason for an energy stock to drop they way they have been... it is not the energys we are having an issue with...

I also feel if a state can not run on the moneys they have then they need to start cutting pay to the high up officials who can not seem to do their jobs in the first place.  Start at the top and maybe things will start to get better.  Don&#039;t start at the bottom because that is where the unemployment is happening and not getting any better...  While I am talking high up officials how about the senators and people in congress who were voted in who get tax breaks.... Why????

Ok now that I have left you with a million questions to answer.  I will leave you be to figure them out if you can.  Sorry about the tangent I just went on.</description>
