I have an idea. One of the reasons many of us don't trust this administration is that over five years ago they pushed this country into the invasion of Iraq with many of the same arguments they are using now to push the country into this humongous bailout. "We can't wait! The danger is too great! Mushroom clouds are about ready to explode above our cities!" And none of it was true. (And I believe they knew it wasn't true, because the whole thing was really about oil in the Middle East, which remains the reason we don't want to leave our billion dollar military bases there.)
So, if they're serious about this bailout, why don't they just flat-out apologize for misleading us into the Iraq War? Admit they were wrong and stupid and fools. Ask forgiveness from us, from the families of our dead and wounded soldiers, from the families of the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, from God.
Maybe, just maybe, some of us might be willing to forgive them and believe them now. Maybe.
