The anger over AIG bonuses of $165 million by Americans is misdirected!

It is outrageous that taxpayer bailout funds go to executive and employee bonuses. Sure, AIG greed is appalling but the fault lies with Congress and the president. Congress and the executive department approved of the bailout funding and allowed the Treasury Department to distribute that money without accountability.

Congress allowed this to happen. They should take full responsibility for the situation that is developing. I think that the anger should be directed toward all congressmen that voted in favor of all bailout funding. Fire these bums.

Where are the limits of the Constitution? These creeps we call congressmen are disobeying the constitution and we the people are letting them do it. Wake up America. Your country is being enslaved by bankers, your savings are being destroyed by inflation and deflation simultaneously and most people don’t have a clue as to what is happening.

Our children are being enslaved by debt that can never be repaid. Where is the righteous indignation? The banks and Congress are in bed together and both are unfaithful to the Constitution. We must return to the basics to solve this problem. We need a currency that is backed by gold and silver as the constitution demands. We must all learn to live within our means and stop expecting and allowing the government to run our lives.

We must stop expecting others to pay for our own personal lack of responsibility.
