When I was 50 I started a lawn mowing and landscaping business. After a few years the stress of being on my feet all the time began to take it's toll on my feet and knees so I shut the business down and went to work elsewhere. My business still had debts so for the next four years I put my nose to the grindstone and paid off my business debts. I was never late with any payments. I didn't ask anyone for any kind of help to bail me out.

Why can't the wreckers of some of our financial institutions be required to do the same? What makes them better than me or any of the other thousands of families and small business owners who struggle and who make their families and businesses work?

Why should our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have to struggle with the enourmous burden that this proposed bailout is going to cost us?
