1. The Nader Blog is a blog representing Ralph Nader's perspective on current political issues. The blog discusses topics such as the bailout, congressional policies, and government policies.
2. This blog differs from the ones I have looked at so far in a few ways. First, it is not written directly by the person whose views are being represented. These entries are not necessarily written by Ralph Nader himself, but by his representatives instead.
3. This particular entry is about the recent government bailout. The blog discusses how Congress needs to be more firm in its action and impose more control on those controlling the money. It discusses many idealistic views that all basically say the government should be more responsible for the goings on within our country. For example, the blog says "The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, separating traditional banks from investment banks, helped pave the way for the current disaster. It is time to re-regulate the financial sector." This type of opinion is expressed throughout the entire blog, and I quite honestly do not believe in some of what it stands for. I do believe that our economy could benefit from some government action, however I do not believe that such drastic actions as are suggested here need to be undertaken.

I also feel like the actions presented are more severe than they should be, but I do feel government action is necessary. A re-regulation of finance would help, but I think in order to achieve that, some government intervention is necessary.
