The government is taking over the U.S. firms because there is no money left .

The governement has taken over AIG and Chrysler Corp

A bailout means giving money to the companies to keep them from failing and federal officials have put new experienced leaders in place.

David Walker has doubts about the bailout because he says the government does not have the core competency to run AIG. He said it needs to focus on doing "what needs to be done" to get the economy back on track.
5. What did Daniel Mitchell say about the bailout?
He said officials are making responsible decisions about how to run the firms. He did not approve of the bailout but he said "it appears like they're doing the wrong thing in the best way possible."

I think it is a good idea because it helps the government to get some money and helps boost the economy up.

I wouldn't agree with him because the government is doing different things to try to get the economy to flow again. Maybe this has failed but it can probably work out this

Before and After
Before
What I knew about the topic:
That the election happens every four years in order for us to select a new president.
What do I want to know about it:
How the vote system works. How they count every vote.
After
What I learned:
That the economy is one of the most important issue discussed in the both political parties. Also, that the democrat logo is a donkey and the republican logo is an elephant.
What I still want to know:
They didn't talk about how the vote system works. I am still curious how the vote system works and how they make sure every vote counts.
