Subject Help Out Our American People - First and formost

Dear Mr. President,

I have support you and done my best to support the American economy and as you are well aware the big three are in trouble.
I do not know all the facts, nor do I have the time to research them all but I can tell you what we are hearing from the mouths of some of our representatives is grossly untrue. I hope they don’t talk to there mothers with the same mouth that is shooting garbage at the American worker. –

It is sickening that you and our congress can ear mark 700 Billion dollars to be given to bad banks and lending practices and not ask for a plan but when the Big 3 come for a loan you and congress ask for a plan and control????? I didn’t know you and congress were part time Auto Experts - I say you because you are our leader and need to take the bull by the horns and lead us one last time….They will restructure and they will prevail with “our” help. I say “our” because it is part of my Tax dollars at work.

I am a firm believer that oil prices and the world market is to blame for a lot of what is going on. Money doesn’t disappear it moves around. And Oil companies have reported record profits……so as the rich get richer (most of congress) and the rest of us suffer, we are asked to fuel the American economy??? I can’t, nor can many of us. Case in point, if I have to spend $600 a month in fuel to get myself to work, well I stop spending someplace else. Don’t even tell me to go buy a more efficient car…I have one for what I need….I have two kids and need an SUV (which BTW gets 20 MPG – were as 15 years ago they got 7) I think GM has done something right I have what I have to haul all our stuff around. Put you might be on to something. If I can’t afford stuff, we won’t need to haul anything around I will just be traveling back and forth to work to support the oil companies. The structure and the way oil is traded needs to get back to the way it was.

Shipping of jobs and production over seas and allowing imports into the country without balancing taxes is hurting American companies. Especially the Auto Industry? Lets see how well those foreign companies survive if we slap a 5-10000 import tax on them. How can American car manufactures survive? They are the back bone of this country and affect 1-10 and a lot more than that when you think of the jobs lost – the tax base lost – next thing you know it hits our schools, local services etc more then our current state which is BAD.

We are strong but we are weakening and if congress can sit back and in their hearts and minds say it is a good thing for the big 3 to go under then they need to take a good hard look at what has happened the last few years with jobs and see what the next 4 years will bring with that many more out of work. Good luck with your next budget with only ½ of the people currently employed staying employed in the next two years. Congress, you might have to take a pay cut. And BTW the person Reading this email we may not need your job next year in office because it will need to be cut. Congress will need to vote a nice little pay increase with what was left to go around. Which is $0 BTW I would love to see our congress work for a $1 next year to help out the American Business which is on its way to Bankruptcy. What about you MR president? You willing to work for a $1 or give back but al but $1 from your last year’s salary. That’s right you are almost out of there. Like many politicians – they leave a mess for the next guy too.
Good luck on the ranch.

BTW – Will you tell congress to stop using my Social Security for other reasons so I can look forward to that in 30 years? Or better yet, loan it to GM/Ford and Chrysler and stop giving tax breaks to Foreign Auto Makers.

Thank you
