You must be clueless to even think in any realm of possibility that this will make us money. Your government just made the biggest socialist move in its history. Welcome to the U.S.S.A. No its not emotion, its common sense. Last weeks poll numbers showed 7% of Americans wanted this bill to pass, but our Congress failed us once more. Do you believe in democracy? That the Senate and House are to represent the people? Then no matter how much you think we needed this bill, you should acknowledge that passing it was wrong.
In this particular case Congress was representing the best interest of the people, not necessarily their will. This is a prime example of why we are a republic and not a direct democracy.
The government may or may not make money on the deal, however it is certain the money won't be washed down the drain (or into execs pockets) as people are claiming
Yes, they know what to do with our money better than we do. How about we just go to work, have the government collect all the checks and distribute evenly monthly wages.
Given how the average American spends their money I think that point is hardly debatable in this case.
