Dear President Obama: I have a policy question...

Dear President Obama:  I have a policy question...
 
 
Banks and Financial Businesses Need MORE Money?
 
I for one American am getting really sick of paying more tax dollars to these poorly mismanaged corporations while I have to survive in this absurdly callous financial environment that has been created without my help.
 
Despite my paying off my mortgage and credit card payments on time, I am being charged more and more penalties, fees and APR percentages for being  a good customer.
 
My credit rating is 748.  Why am I being penalized for the frivolous mistakes and fraudulent practices of others?
 
Why must I refinance my home so I can continue to afford to pay my monthly mortgage payments because of ever-increasing property appraisals that translate into higher and higher taxes?
 
Why is the cost-of-living jumping significantly higher than earnings?
 
Why have the values of my savings, stocks, bonds and retirement funds been savagely cut in half?
 
Why are businesses laying-off millions of Americans and still hiring overseas?
 
Why were cost-of-living adjustments and needed services cut during the Bush years and are still remaining low for our Veteran population?
 
Why have we permitted China and Japan to buy our enormous debt and own the U.S.?
 
And again, why are we continuing to throw money to reckless and mismanaged companies while adding to our already record debt?  It just doesn't make any sense to me.
 
Lastly, do we have to continue to build on our astronomic debt so it will be the responsibility of our children's children to repay it?
 
So, what EXACTLY is our policy?

The one I relate to the most is being penalized for the frivolous and fraudulent activity of others. I haven't looked today but yesterday I read that Chrysler, although they aren't going to file for bankruptcy, said they weren't going to give the money that the govt loaned them back. Well, why the heck not? Is this administration going to tell me there was not lawyer-written clause to insist that if the deal didn't go through, they had to GIVE THE MONEY BACK?????

Dear Mr. Pstern,

Why, you ask? Because over the last 40 years our country has become a Corporate Oligarchy that has taken the middle class to the cleaners and still has a pit-bull grip on all of our systems. Personally, I think we need to start by placing the 'too big to fail' banks in receivership, BREAK THEM UP, and sell them back to the private sector. Unfortunately, the political climate being what it is, few in the Government or Corporate Elite are willing to face reality: that these banks are insolvent and have destroyed themselves and the entire financial system of our country with their fraud and greed. I know that many of you out there in America think I don't know this. You think I, too, drink the Kool Aid. Patience, Mr. Pstern. This will take time. In the meanwhile, keep barking!

Affectionately,

PObama

ps: I'll give Bo your regards.
