Articles: Finance - You Have Been Forgotten

The news is all about the banks and what must be done to save them in order to prevent economic disaster from descending on us all. Thousands of banks are on the verge of closing and their problems have echoed throughout the business world as companies struggle to find the capital to support their manufacturing operations or even to make payroll.

Over a trillion dollars has now been loaned and given to banks and manufacturers to prevent their collapse. Their CEOs are constantly on their telephones trying to arrange the next bailout and even forced to use their cell phones in their Ferraris, while on the way home to their mansions or penthouses, to explain to board members what they are doing to get things back on track. They are harassed and harried and they know that the next million-dollar paycheck they get may well be their last. Even though it’s below 50 degrees outside, the air conditioner in their Mercedes is blasting in an attempt to stop the hail of bullets they are sweating. It’s not only their jobs, but also their reputations that are on the line without which they won’t be able to land the next job that will provide them with enough personal wealth for that vacation home in the Bahamas and the private jet to get there.

 

As all of this drama is unfolding, Congress is paying scant attention to the hardships that are being endured by the people who elected them. Congress has plenty of money to rescue these playboys from their management mistakes, but none to save the homes of the people who voted them into office. As these bankers are whining over their cell phones from the back seat of their limousines about the bad day that they just had, Congress members’ loyal voters are being thrown onto the street and forced to take up residence in their Fords and Chevies if they haven’t lost them, too.

 

While Congress members take calls on their private lines directly from the movers and shakers of the banking industry, taxpayers living in the tent cities that are popping up along canals, railroad tracks and in vacant lots don’t have telephone service so they are out of site and out of mind. Nothing is being done to rescue the retirement funds that good Americans have worked all of their lives to save. Little is said about the Constituents who have already taken their own lives in order to provide the insurance money to their families so that they can continue to have a place to live and finish the public schools that they are enrolled in.

 

What Congressional and Senate members don’t realize yet, is that it’s the people who are enduring the hardships who have the power and they are gathering together to change their government back to one that’s for the people. Legislators who have voted to spend billions of dollars in an ill-fated attempt to save banks and corporations while they left their Constituents to suffer will soon find themselves also looking for jobs.

 

You have the power to turn your government back into one that serves and represents you. With the election coming up in less than three weeks, the time to exercise your power is now. Email the Constituent Response Team at
