So we run the country into debt via a war to prevent terrorism. Ok, we need to pay it back. So, we pass a $800 billion bail out plan... Mommy always told me 2 wrongs don't make a right... As for your first point, it was irresponsible spending when you pick it apart.
Considering it was rammed down our throats as providing the neccesities and yet:
$10 billion + on enhancing credit and home loan asscebilites. *This is exactly what got us into the crisis to begin with*
~$13 billion on providing internet access *Has internet become a neccesity?*
That's $23 billion right there. Dare we go further into it...
Actually, the money for internet access will probably bring higher future returns than just about anything else in the bailout bill. I'd say that being able to use the internet *is* a necessity if we're to keep up with places like Japan and Europe.
