Can We track down all the money thats been given to big business in the name of to big to fail?

Sure. 

Solyndra (sp) comes to mind.

Our government doesn't seem capable of doing anything good "effectively". But rather than giving blank checks to big business We could've fed quite a few kids. Do You not agree?

Good post! Our government does nothing effectively. They need to remove themselves completely from both big business and feeding the starving kids. Laws are on the books to keep big business in line. The only thing the government needs to concern themselves with, is enforcing those laws...............................they even suck at that.

If the morons are looking for ways to spend money, I'd suggest they look at the debt clock, and go to work on reversing it.

Government should not be giving money to businesses.  Conservatives believe in competition and fiscal responsibility.  RINOs and libs do not.

No on the children, because I haven't heard of an effective plan on how to do so.  Until you can articulate how the government can do that job better than private individuals and companies, then you are just spinning your bleeding heart wheels with no brains in the driver's seat.

Blank Checks, Really, seriously?

He keeps pushing that like we support bailouts or something...

I agree, and I would think that some firmer laws should be set in plase for companies that can really do harm, i.e. Oil industry etc.

Reversing the debt clock would be nice, but it seems to Me that the powers that be have found us a sinking ship and our collecting as many valuables as possible before escaping on the golden life rafts.

Please explain the harm that the Oil industry is doing.

Ive already said that greed keeps people from doing whats right in previous posts. There is no effective plan to surpass the human desire for more.

Ive said "I wish" when referring to feeding the children because I don't believe People have progressed passed the point of selfishness just yet.  I wish it would happen sooner rather than later.

How does the oil industry harm us?  Last time I checked, they get the resources from under the Earth into our cars and machines.  Why do you have a problem with that?

You are pretty good at making sweeping blanket statements (emotionally driven) without providing much to back up the generalities you are tossing around.

Are You serious? I'm all for having a car but I do hope We find a better cleaner source of fuel.
Do You not see a problem with the amount of damage that's caused to the earth and its inhabitants from the industry?

Which statements? The ones about wishing We could help starving kids?

At the moment, the oil industry is controlled by OPEC. We can't pass laws against them. There is a moratorium on oil exploration and drilling within the US. The moratorium was put in place by Obama. What little oil we're producing, is coming from privately owned land in the midwest. Obama can't stop it. If he could, he would.

Mr Obama, working in lockstep with the EPA and the Sierra Club, is doing a wonderful job of destroying big business.

Please give us your definition of greed, and how it can hurt us within the bounds of competition.

May I ask how you are getting your thoughts from your head to the forum?  How does that happen?  (another thinking exercise for you).

I'm not sure what circles you hang out in.  Must be a bunch of liberals.  Us private people give in different ways, from cash to providing opportunity and showing someone how to catch a fish, versus just giving them a fish.  You are out of your league talking about helping people.

Can you answer the question or not?
