The Common Sense Fix

For those following the financial mess that is all over the news as of late, you should find this document interesting. I'm not a financial expert by any means, but this is a plan that I can understand, and deal with (as opposed to the absurd $700 Billion idea). We all know that we can't trust the news media, they are always biased in some way, this week they are almost uniformly slanted in favor of the massive bailout. I find it interesting that on every news channel I have watched I have not seen even the acknowledgement of an alternate plan, although it is clear that it is out there since over half of the House voted against the bail-out. If "everyone" is so obviously for this idea, then why didn't it sail through unanimously? Anyway, I digress... Although the news media has not really been interested in covering this proposal, it is being spread around in Washington and does have a chance. I'm not sure where it's origins really come from, I understand it is the result of input from a lot of different sources, but that really isn't the issue, the point is that A) it looks like it could work, and B) it is something most "average" Americans can get behind.

Although he did not develop the plan Dave Ramsey has gotten behind it and has posted a summary of it's idea's to his website in PDF format. You can view all that info here. If you support this then make sure you let your Representative and Senators know!
