Use the $700 billion to build up America

What to do with $700 billion?

First let's say no to Wall Street. Let them clean up their own mess.

Those millionaires that gave themselves million dollar raises and bonuses and gifts to politicians.

I have something we forgot. Let's build up America with the money being taxpayers money.

Why don't we open up the steel mills and produce our own steel instead of buying from China and Japan with high tariffs?

Then I would help companies that had to close because of the economy brought on by the present administration.

I would put millions into the VA account to help our veterans, their families and troops coming home from the war.

That $700 billion is a lot of money, but as America is slowly going down because of this administration and the people who voted with Bush, we have to get strong, start manufacturing our own products and stop buying from China.

We at one time had pride in what we made. Not any more. It's time we make a change and start thinking of our country and stop worrying about the other countries.

Maybe in this way, America can grow and prosper.

We buy vegetables and fruit from South America. Isn't it about time we tell our politicians to cancel CAFTA and NAFTA? They do not help America at all.

It's time we start thinking of ourselves.

Our politicians have to say no to Wall Street with their corruption and manipulating of monies - not theirs but the people who play in the stock market.

It's like I went to Las Vegas and lost a lot of money. I couldn't go to the government and ask for it back.

The same should be with Wall Street. I think this is the solution. Let's build up America for our kids.
