economy

I wonder why the economy is still failing even though congress passed the bailout plan.  Is it possible that the government is actually lying to us all on the amount of dept we are in?  I don’t think so, I’m just very confused as to why everything is going downhill.  Will this affect us middle class and working class harder than the rich? That I believe. I think that the senate and the congress are just trying to protect themselves and the rich.  I don’t think they really care about us sometimes.  Don’t you think that all the foreign countries would try to get back at the U.S because of this huge scandal? Hmmm, that’s a scary thought.
