when you say: " some party wants to hand that money over to the 'poor" … this some party wants to help out the 101 million that are currently struggling and the ones that will help pay for these lovely bailouts! They do want to use (they is the same as ‘some’ party you were talking about above)
the money to help pay for people to have healthcare and other such things instead of the party that you seem to prefer, which wants to continue excess spending, especially with Iraq…now that’s going to be a great ‘bailout’ just to save face…we already goofed with Vietnam and we did pull out, look nothing happened…both are still alive and ~ well!
