Huh, excuse me ? Since when does France "hate" the USA ? Or do you mean that each time someone disagrees with you, she hates you ? Well I must probably hate you then (hint: I don't. I don't even know you.)

So - are you from Iran, France, or some other country that hates us?
If you are an American- are you leaving? We need less people like you here.

Let the market recover on its own. (It's already doing so.) Further bailouts will just increase big government and continue to encourage greed among some business leaders and congressional members. THEY are a big part of the problem and don't need to benefit from the current plan.

Let those who played major part in creating this crisis (including homeowners who KNEW they couldn't afford those houses) fend for themselves.

Americans who are economically responsible are tired of bloated government. Thanks to courage of those in Congress who won't sell out.

If a less expensive plan emerges with guarantees that middle class taxpayers won't AGAIN be responsible for irresponsible, fraudulent behavior by some business and government leaders, then I would support those in Congress who vote for the bill.

On no circumstance should the bail out pass. The raping of the American Citizen must stop.We pay for it at the pump, were paying for the outsourcing of jobs to foreign lands.When will people wake up and smell the bullshit . Bush is a liar and man of extreme corruption who will not rest till all of our sovreignty is sold to China and The great corporations of America. Besides why dont we invest our money in real economic developement not some assholes bullshit idea. Im angry ,upset and disgusted that we have had to listen to lies for the past 8 years . Its UnAmerican and unpatriotic.

The US is one of the WORST countries in the world to grow old and retire. Tell your friend to pack up and head somewhere else ;)

The American Dream has turned into the American Nightmare. Sigh!

The United States' superpower status may be toast in a few years. Many of my friends has lost big, one of whom was just a few years away from retirement. Wall Street has been very very very unkind to them; however, most of them no longer have the expected income on which they can retire. What a shame.

There are other reasons to vote no than that it won't restore confidence...
