Lets think. http://www.financialcookiejar.com/government-bailouts-lets-think/ http://www.financialcookiejar.com/government-bailouts-lets-think/#comments Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:36:01 +0000 FinanceCookies http://www.financialcookiejar.com/?p=111 I have been hearing a lot about government bailouts in the last few months.  It seems that since the recession hit all the businesses seem to think that the government has some sort of responsibility to businesses that didn’t prepare for the times they might struggle.

Okay, this is a problem and I am not just talking about companies struggling.  For a moment, lets remind ourselves where government money comes from…uh it still the people right?  Yeah, its still the people, the money doesn’t just appear out of nowhere.  The closest thing is when we print more money, which by the way will just make things worse than they have been.

I don’t want to go there, but I do want to say the government is not supposed to be taking responsibility from the people.  If there are companies that are hurting, well that’s life.  Guess what were all hurting, why doesn’t the government bailout individuals?

I’ll tell you why, because that would be stupid.  That would be like we are paying for ourselves to be paid and we are paying someone (government employees) to do that.  I mean, I must by taking crazy pills!  The government helping us financially does not help us financially.

What we are talking about is socialism vs. Democracy.  If we want Socialism lets rewrite the constitution!  Let us be America!  Opportunity does not mean others fixing your mistakes.  Really!

P.S. If we bailout the porn industry I am moving to Canada or Italy.  Their governments don’t pretend to be something they are not!

To our personal benefit, companies out there are struggling to continue making money and thus, have to take drastic measures. For a smart family or individual the pain that businesses are going through can be an easy way to gain. Since business is experience difficulties they have to compete harder for your money, no matter the type of business they may be. Now is the time to start shopping. Not for more material things, but for companies that you can use to get more bang for your buck. Here is an article that talks about just one of the ways (bank interest rates) that we can find businesses that will give the most competitive rates for your money.

Let banks compete for your cash
