5. The pork-barell issue is just a distraction for people who do not have an idea of what really should be done. Why can’t the press uncover some of the real substantive issues involved like:
   Why should the about 40 percent of the households in the US, who are renters, have to share in the costs of bailing out the mortgages of the 60 some percent who are homeowners and who already get substantial tax breaks to help them pay their mortgages. If anything, the “bailout bill” should have provisions for protecting those who were not involved in bringing on this problem from the devaluation of their income that will result from this bailout.
