Just listening to the Economic News... and it looks like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are going to be bailed out at an expense to the taxpayer via the U.S. Treasury for up to 200 billion dollars!  That's a lot of cash my friends.  (An example of how much; the cancer research in this country amounts to $6 million.) 

Job losses were 84,000 for August, 2008 more than the anticipated 75,000.  Unemployment is at a higher level than in 5 years.  Most of the losses were in manufacturing and construction. 

There was a warning for those that have 401K and mutual funds to check if they are tied to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  There could be some loss there.  Someone will bear it.  We know from experience that the ones that bear the brunt of mistakes, corruption and bad policies are the little people not the CEO's and policy makers.  They walk away unscathed and we are left picking up the pieces and our children and our children's children are left paying for the loss.

Eleven bank failures this year and more may be looming on the horizon.  Do you think it is Time for a Change?  I do.
