turned into a country whose foundation is solidly built on lies, deception, fraud, manipulation, evil, greed, trickery, deep corruption, and the constant pursuit to financially injure the innocent people living here and all over the world.

To the fans of the Rip-off Report website, I had a thought last night and would like to ask a question: Is our country being blackmailed? Wall Street is holding this country hostage and demanding a Bailout Ransom. But what about the foreign Governments in Asia and Middle East who purchased the fraudulent investments sold by Wall Street... are they now demanding to be paid back? Is the United States being blackmailed because the Wall Street Gang ripped off foreign investors and governments who figured out that they have been conned? We will never know because our leaders have not been honest with us about the biggest Rip-Off ever! I would hope that the fans of the Rip-Off Report would take the time to let Congress know how you feel about the Bailout... I have! Yesterday, I couldn't even send a E-mail or Fax to them... the E-mail and Faxes were not working in Washington DC. Today, it took over four-minutes to fax this letter to Congress. They don't want to hear from the voters! Attention: Our Elected Leaders Re: Financial Rescue Plan (Bailout) To Whom It May Concern: With all due respect what part of NO BAILOUT do our elected leaders not understand? I am tired of our elected leaders who fail too listen to the voter! I am tired of our elected leaders who lie to voters and falsely claim that their mail is now running 50% for the Bailout Voters are now happy all because a change was made where instead of it costing $700 Billion it will now cost $800 Billion? I am tired of the Financial Terrorist on Wall Street holding this Nation Hostage and demanding the Bailout Ransom! If this Bailout passes, by 2012 our National Debt will be 15 Trillion Dollars and we will be bankrupt because the true cost of this Bailout will be triple of what we are being told. You can not guarantee that this Bailout will work. But I can guarantee that the Economic Meltdown will be far worse if our leaders vote yes! Congress and the Senate have not thought this through and don't understand what they are doing. They fell for Presidents WMD warning hook, line and sinker we can't afford too fall for threats of doom again! As a registered voter, I will not vote for a politician who votes for the bailout! Sincerely, George

John, Thank you for writing in with your comments and I am very sorry to read that you're going through so much trouble we all are! Unfortunately, I have good reason too believe that the public is being held hostage by the financial institutions! They will hold us hostage until they get what they want and they want the $700 Billion Dollar Bailout THIS IS A RIP-OFF! Think about it, people with credit scores of 800+ won't get a car loan until the Wall Street Boys and Girls get the Bailout. Need a Student Loan? Need a Line of Credit? Need a Small Business Loan for your successful Company you can't have it until the Wall Street Gang get the $700 Billion Dollar Bailout THIS IS A RIP-OFF! Do you think that our Government won't negotiate with Terrorists? Our Nation is being held hostage by Financial Terrorists and the Ransom Demand is the $700 Billion Dollar Bailout! Would you like to see into the Future? Would you like to peer into my Crystal Ball and see what will be? In order to see into my Crystal Ball you need to understand what happened yesterday. Angry voters called in, they emailed in, they wrote in, and they faxed in letters at 100 to 1 against the Bailout and the Democrat controlled Senate ignored the voters. Not only did they ignore us they voted for even more money THIS IS A RIP-OFF! Last night, our Democrat controlled Senate voted for and passed the $700 Billion Dollar Bailout. But that wasn't good enough because they added an extra $100 Billion Dollars making it an $800 Billion Dollar Bailout. This will cause our National Debt to jump from 9.7 Trillion Dollars to 10.5 Trillion Dollars and this is IF they estimated the true cost of this Bailout Program correctly! I estimate that this Bailout will end up costing 2.3 Trillion Dollars which means our National Debt will be 12 Trillion Dollars. Do you think I am wrong? What was the original estimate for the Iraq war? (They told us that Iraq would pay us back!) Folks, look into my Crystal Ball by 2012, our National Debt will be at 15 Trillion Dollars and it won't matter who you voted for, it won't matter who is in office; the fact is that neither McCain nor Obama deserve the Nations highest office! Our Nation can not afford Obama or McCain because they are both talking about spending more money! Take a good look into my Crystal Ball and see our future the Argentina Economic Crises will look like a blip the current economic crisis in Zimbabwe is a sample of things to come and before you dismiss this warning as being stupid or crazy talk you better understand some simple basic facts by asking who financed this economic bubble. Who do you think bought the high risk investments? Answer: It wasn't just our banks! It was investors from Europe, Asia and the Middle East and these people don't like us they are the ones who bought these investments and this Bailout is written in such a way that it will help foreign companies who do a significant amount of business in the United States! (Wow this is one big Rip-Off by the Wall Street Gang and now they are going to do it again to the US Taxpayer!) Do you think these foreign governments and people will keep on investing in a country that is Bankrupt? They don't have to keep on investing in our country why should they? They already got stung once! Would you throw your money away on a country that just cost you Billions? Before you say that they have to you better keep in mind on how much money they are sitting on! China has over 1 Trillion US Dollars in reserve and when you factor in the Euro's they have, it adds up to over 2 Trillion in Cash reserves. The Middle East has about the same amount! (Iraq alone is sitting on 84 Billion in Cash Reserves and it won't be used to pay us back!) They don't have to keep throwing their money away and sooner or later, they will figure out that the United States is a bottomless money pit! Again, would you throw your money away on a country that just cost you Billions, that can't balance their budget and has a deficit of 9.7 Trillion plus? Would you keep on investing in a country that's Trade Deficit is losing 800 Billion plus each year that is one heck of a financial hemorrhage and the 800 Billion Dollar Bailout won't even come close to patching this mess! You think that I am wrong? Think I am nuts? Think I am over-reacting? You better ask yourself what happens during an economic crisis and the chain reaction that is created crime goes up! Restrictive Laws are passed! Authoritative Governments are created by panicked voters! Voters willingly trade freedoms for security and safety! Tax Revenue falls, deficits go up, imports fall, jobs are lost, factories are closed, property values fall, tent cities spring up, towns go bankrupt, police become corrupt, infrastructure deteriorates and on and on! You think that I am wrong? Think I am nuts? Think I am over-reacting? How easy has it been to buy gas in places like Atlanta? (This is a symptom of a serious problem!) How are the Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ike victims doing? (This is a symptom of a serious problem!) The Helena-West Helena City Council has imposed a 24-hour curfew in response to a rash of violence that has recently plagued the city! (This is a symptom of a serious problem!) Try to hold up a protest sign during a speech by Obama, McCain or Bush and see how long it takes before you are arrested! (This is a symptom of a serious problem!) Want to protest? You better check with the authorities and find out where the Designated Protest Area' has been approved! (This is a symptom of a serious problem!) Think you have legal rights? You better look up Habeas Corpus you better look up the November 13, 2001 Presidential Military Order and the Military Commissions Act of 2006! (This is a symptom of a serious problem!) Want to petition the Government with a Grievance or think that you can protest? Look up Dave Ridley; look up the 34 people charged with unlawful speech, or Amy Goodman just to mention a few examples! (This is a symptom of a serious problem!) This is a Rip-Off of our Rights and it is a symptom of serious problems in our country These are problems that have been created by Democrats and Republicans! (...and they blame each other!) Would you like to see into the Future? Would you like to peer into my Crystal Ball and see what will be? The $800 Billion Dollar Bailout will be passed by our leaders they don't know if it will work and all my predictions will come to be! This is the biggest Rip-Off in the history of our country and the very people who voted for Bush the first time, and supported the war in Iraq when it first started, they will be the ones who vote for Obama... they were wrong then and they are wrong now!

I owned a construction company that went under due to the housing market crises. I had great credit. I had to file bankrupsy, I'm loosing my home to foreclosure. I can not find a job. I'm a victom of the preditory lending that this goverment let happen to us. wy, because nobody cares about us working class. Now they want us working class to bail them out. The bank that refused to talk to us about our mortgage. The bank that refused to lend my bussines money to help pay my employes. The banks that are scamming us on overdraft fees and on and on I can go. They send all the jobs over seas. Nobody can afford to have your own bussines anymore, wy because the goverment takes most of the money. taxes, workers comp payments go up every year even if you never filed a claim. Liability insurance is outragous and on and on. This bailout will do nothing for us. the banks are not going to lend us money. The banks will not do anything for us at all but keep sramming us out of money in overdraft fees, cut the limits down on our credit card for no reason. Increase the interest rates for no reason on our credit cards. We the people need a class action lawsuit on the banks. We need HELP NOW. we need to say no to this crap. The goverment is going to buy the bad dept from the banks. The bank that would not work with me on my foreclosure. So now our tax dollars are going to pay for our foreclosures anyway. But we don't get our houses back !!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A RIPOFF THIS GOVERMENT S**KS
