Relying on government not the solution to the bailout

Issue date: 10/27/08 Section: Letters
Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." The recent vote on the bailout is proof that we cannot depend on government to fix the recent economic crisis we are in.
Think about it. Congress caused this problem by lowering the bar regarding mortgages so that individuals who were unable to pay them back could borrow money. This resulted in failed mortgages and an economic disaster.
NOW we have Congress trying to solve the problem they caused by doing the very same thing again by loaning money to lending institutions that cannot afford to pay them back. Einstein defined this as INSANITY! Wouldn't you agree?
The solution to our economic crisis lies in the hands of the American people. It is time we bail out America. Obviously we cannot depend on the present Congress to do the job. They seem to only be making it worse. I would never have voted for this bailout, and I am ashamed of those congressmen who did.
It's time we all unite and work together to lift up our nation to insulate our community, our state, and our nation from the potential damage of this global financial crisis. It is time we stand united to protect our own.
You have heard of the buy local buy fresh movement in central Wisconsin. Well, we need to expand that concept to other areas. We need to create a sustainable nation.
Every dollar spent should be spent to better America by making sure it stays in our community where possible, stays in our state when able and certainly stays within our nation's borders.
We cannot afford to watch our wealth exported. If business, industry and tourism must suffer, let's do our part to make sure it doesn't suffer here. Employees should do their absolute best to increase profitability. Employers should support American suppliers of their goods and services.
We must make sure that government spends our tax dollars on American-made goods and services as well. This will help to increase jobs and prosperity at home.
When I see government contracts going to foreign companies and not our own, I am appalled. For them to put restrictions and demands on our industry and business, and then buy goods from foreign competitors that are not held to the same standards, is an offense against the United States and its workforce.
Democrats and Republicans in Washington need to get their priorities straight and return to a position of service to the American people.
The American people built this nation and it will take the American people, not government, to gain victory over this economic crisis, as well.
God Bless America.
