		<description>A bailout that makes sense!  
   I&#039;m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to  
America in a &#039;We Deserve It Dividend&#039;. To make the  
 math simple, let&#039;s assume there are 200,000,000 bona  
 fide U.S.Citizens 18+.  
    Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every  
 man,woman and child.  So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at  
 adults 18 and up. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85  
 billion that equals $425,000.00.My plan is to give $425,000  
 to every person 18+ as a &#039;We Deserve ItDividend&#039;.  
 Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let&#039;s assume a  
 tax rate of 30%.  Every individual 18+ has to pay$127,500.00  
 in taxes.  
  That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.But it  
 means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.  
  A husband and wife has $595,000.00. What would you do with  
 $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?  
 Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.  
 Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads  
 Put away money for college - it&#039;ll be there  
 Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.  
 Buy a new car - create jobsInvest in the market - capital  
 drives growth  
 Pay for your parent&#039;s medical insurance - health care  
 improves  
 Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else  
 Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including  
 the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every  
 other company that is cutting back.  And of course, for  
 those serving in our Armed Forces. If we&#039;re going to  
 re-distribute wealth let&#039;s really do it... instead of  
 trickling out a puny $1K ( &#039;vote buy&#039; ) economic incentive.  
  If we&#039;re going to bailout, let&#039;s bail out every Adult U S Citizen 18+!  
 As for AIG - liquidate it.  Sell off its parts.  Let  
 American General go back to being American General.  Sell  
 off the real estate.  Let the private sector bargain hunters  
 cut it up and clean it up.  
 Here&#039;s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG didn&#039;t.   
  But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party! How do  
 you spell Economic Boom? I trust my fellow Americans  
 to know how to use the $85 Billion &#039;WeDeserve It  
 Dividend&#039; more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in  
 Washington DC. And remember, The -plan only really costs  
 $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in  
 taxes to Uncle Sam. </description>

		<description>My group, La Herencia en Santa Fe (The Heritage in Santa Fe)is reclaiming land in NM which was lost to government since the Gadsden Treaty and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo were signed. We are immediately concerned about how the sub-prime mortgage is going to affect us. To this day, we have not been able to get local bankers to help and see many foreclosures on our land grants being foreclosed by foreign banks. We need clarification on sub-prime mortgages in the bailout. </description>

		<description>How in the world can you put the people who, either caused, or help cause the bailout problem, in charge of oversight of the bill?  The Chairman of the Fed Res Sys, The Sec of Trea, the Director of Fed Home Fin Agency, The Chairman of the SEC, and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Dev. </description>
