Whoa, enough! More bail outs - why?

Seems to be primarily available to the large organizations and unions which helped create this economic crisis and were never penalized while the CEO's still receive salaries, benefits, perks and bonuses for failure even after while small businesses remain in limbo. To date, the first distribution to citizens failed to provide the results the economic brains expected, the second bail out to AIG provided the upper echelon a sumptuous vacation. Do we need more?

Instead of financing these corporations, the government should be diverting money and reinventing programs to develop and provide jobs so citizens can afford homes, medical care, food, and the general expenses of living.

How?

Support and provide tax-incentives to start-up and established businesses for creating jobs for all citizens
- the young, unemployed and seniors,

Allow tax incentives for on-the-job training,

Re-educate people to develop skills to become employable in the technological environment,

Send children who are not college-material to trade schools,

Target and increase taxes on businesses outsourcing to other countries - components as well as finished
products,

Provide tax-incentives to businesses for bringing jobs and factories back to the United States,

Encourage children to obtain an education,

Reinstate and increase grade standards instead of lowering them,

Stop blaming teachers, schools and parents for the sub-standard level of graduates,

Bricks do not educate children; Teachers cannot educate disinterested children,

Parents with less education than their children cannot help their children, but they can encourage their children to learn,

Charge non-property owners with children for each child's education,

Stop dumping increased taxes on childless citizens with property,

Local taxing agencies find it easy raise property taxes and to lien property owners,

As the number of property owners decrease, the burden of government expense increases to a point where they no longer can afford property,

Stop accepting immigrant children in the educational system unless the parents pay entry fees,
taxes or own property,

The educated gurus and investment experts played fast and loose with money entrusted to them without accountability and lax enforcement of restrictions on investments and retirement accounts while the citizens loosing their jobs, houses, assets, savings, medical care, cash and retirement benefits are left out in the cold. These were people supposedly educated in
