Commentary: If We Can Bail Out Multi-Million Dollar Companies, We Can Do More for the Unemployed

The federal government has spent billions of taxpayer dollars bailing out or assisting in the bailouts of some of the country's largest corporations. Insisting its support was intended to stop a complete collapse of the nation's financial market, the feds dipped into its reserves, despite criticism from experts that the bailouts were only prolonging the inevitable.

Where, then, is the federal government's support of the average American? In these tough economic times, people in this country are greatly in need of assistance. It is time for our nation's leaders to stop acting on behalf of corporate interests and work for those individuals who drive our economy.
