Wall Street is in big chaos. The $700 billion government bailout plan was denied. Wachovia was bought by Citigroup. All stocks plunged down. So what happens now? Would major banks go bankrupt one at a time? My boss said when the banks go kaput, credit will freeze. So no one can borrow money or use their credit cards. That’s good for me, I guess. I won’t be able to use my credit card meaning more money saved (*wink*).  But bad for the businesses. I wonder why the government didn’t save the financial institution? I don’t know exactly what’s in that bailout plan but wouldn’t it at least prevent the major decline of the economy? I know it’s the people’s money but where else could the government could have gotten the money to help the economy? The taxpayers’ money is saved for right now but what happens if there’s no improvement in the economy in the next few months/years? Would the taxpayer pay a steeper price? And why is it that with all the ongoings in the economy right now, the Bush administration is still continuing a war that should never happen? That’s just an unnecessary waste of financial resource.

Oh well….what do I know…just putting my naive two cents in.
