2. They have to pay an 8% interest and give the government a large portion of their stocks, have to cut mortgage rates, Citigroup executives pay is restricted. Yes I think this is fair because the government saves them and then later on when they make a comeback they have to pay the government back what they paid plus an 8% interest.

3. Yes I do think the governement should provide aid for Citigroup because they are a major player in the mortgage and banking industry and if they went down millions of Americans would be in a great deal fo trouble as far as their houses are concerned.

4. President-Elect Obama plans to create a recovery plan that also opens up many news jobs. Rebubplicans object that it may be too expensive and take too long.

5. If I were advising Mr. Obama I would advise him to follow the experts because I have no clue!

6. Spam is a type of meat also called Mystery meat. It originated during The Great Depression when most people couldnt afford good meat. I have tried SPAM I thoguht it tasted like cat food, but I had it raw.

Yes, I think it's appropriate because it's basically an equal trade to help out both sides. The government and Citigroup are both benefitting from this.

3. In a way, I do believe they should help them because the government is the main reason for this cause. But on the other hand, if they are going to help Citigroup out, they should also help other groups that have had a major loss of money, and this would be impossible to help EVERY group.

2. They have to pay an 8% interest and give the government a large portion of their stocks,have to cut mortgage rates,Citigroup executives pay is restricted.Yes I think this is fair because the government saves them and then later on when they make a comeback they have to pay the government back what they paid plus an 8% interest.

3. I do think the governement should provide aid for Citigroup because they are a major part in the mortgage and banking industry and if they went down millions of americans would be in a great deal of trouble as far as their houses and stuff.

4. Obama plans to create a recovery plan that also opens up many news jobs. Rebubplicans object that it may be too expensive and take too long.

5.i would tell him to do anything he1 thinks will wo0rk

6. Spam is a type of meat also called Mystery meat.It originated during The Great Depression when most people couldn't afford better meat.I have tried spam,and didnt like it.

7. Sales of spam are on the rise because of our tough economic times and people may not be able to afford all the kinds of meat.

8. Yes my purchasing habits have changed in these tough times because my mom tries to buy the Publix brand foods instead of the name brands which taste a bit better than Publix brands.

9. My plans are to go to college and get a education and excel in soccer.

10. Bald Eagle because then they can't kill turkeys because they are the national symbol and there wouldnt be turkey for thanksgiving

2.They would have to pay 8% interest. They'll have to give some or most to the government.

3.Yes, because the government has a lot to do with what goes down in America. So, if we suffer, then they should help.

4.A recovery plan to help get back some jobs. Republicans view on this is that it may take too long.

5.I really wouldn't know what to say. I think if I said something, the country would get messed up. more than it is right now! So, I would prefer to keep my mouth shut.

6.A type of meat a.k.a mystery meat. Originated during the great depression. I personally love it cooked with eggs, like its the perfect breakfast.=]

7.Sales for spam are on the rise because of tough economic times. Some can't offered to buy other meat.

8.I hope not. I hope everything is the same when like it was before.

9.My plans are very boring but none the less I love Thanksgiving so im ok for now. No traditions. Just eat, laugh, talk with family members, etc.

10.The eagle. When I look at an eagle, I think freedom. When I think of a turkey, I think its going to be killed evantually, and America is not about the second one.
