Trillion Dollar Government Bail Out

It really irritates me that the government is going to shell out over a trillion dollars to bail out the stock market, when in reality we as a country do not have a trillion dollars. We have spent billions and billions of dollars in Iraq that we do not have and look where that has put our economy right now, in the hole. Spending more money that cannot be backed up is just going to put us more in the hole and make things worse for American citizens. I know that they are just trying to come up with a solution before another stock market crash occurs, but this is not the way, spending money that this government does not have has already proven to be a bad idea. At one point this government was making money based on only what it had in gold, our money was backed up by something, now our money is backed up by "government word". We’re making more and more money everyday, we need to stop making all this money, what needs to happen is some of the money that is in circulation needs to be gotten rid of. We’re already in such a big hole that spending more money that this government does not have is just going to make things worse. And, I do not have over three thousand dollars that the government can take from me to replace what they spent. If I had three thousand dollars I wouldn’t have just got evicted from my apartment last week, I would have a car, and I wouldn’t be starving! All American’s know exactly what I am talking about, and I think we all agree. If the government is going to shell out over a trillion dollars to bail out the stock market, then why can’t the government divide a trillion dollars between all of us? I could sure use three thousand dollars and I’m pretty sure the rest of you could too. I know that the three hundred dollars the government tried giving us earlier this year didn’t make most of us more than one day because we used that to pay bills, so we can survive in this world. The government should think about the people of this country, they say they are but it never seems that way; give everyone in this country three thousand dollars a piece and you will see the economy start to get better, slowly but surely!
