As most of you know, I really like listening to what Dave Ramsey has to say about money. I think he is right on with almost every point he makes. I like his "in your face" type attitude on why most people need help with their money.
Below is an excerpt from an article he wrote about the ridiculous 700 billion bailout plan and why you shouldn't expect it to help you out at all. Don't count on the government. If you have a financial crisis of your own, you have to fix yourself. To read the whole article, click here.
"Don't react based on fear or panic. Another negative reaction is that you are looking to Washington to fix your problems. Why would you do that? They have never fixed your problems, and you want Obama or McCain to fix things. That's ridiculous; there has never been a president who can fix your problems. They always say they can and they never can."
It boggles my mind why the officials we elect to "help" us out can never actually get it right, especially when such a huge majority of people thought the plan was crazy. To see how your senators and representatives voted, click here and here.
700 Billion dollars is such a huge amount of money. Too bad the average American will never be helped out by it.

Isn't it crazy the way this country is going to heck in a hand basket!! We're voting for Chuck Baldwin a Christian minister from Florida. He's on the Iowa ballot. My husband just blogged about it and has his website on our blog.
