I hope not! My family can't afford to pay anymore to bail someone else out. Doubt the average taxpayer can afford to bail out Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

We brag on how well the private-enterprise system works for the oil companies. Why not all the others?

Why should we bail them out? The numbers I heard were they held five Trillion in loans and lost twelve Billion. While twelve billion is ALOT of money, isn't it nickles and dimes in their grand scheme of things?

OK... sooo I (and you) paid my mortagages, credit cards (the NEXT fiasco), kept a good credit rating, etc... where is my bailout? Do I have to keep paying for the 60" wide screen for the welfare case up the street, while I have a 25" analog?

Maybe I failed to make my point.
We're bailing out a company's bad management and people's bad investorship. It follows that we should get paid by companies with good management and smart investors.
Instead, we're being forced into PAY, PAY, PAY,....no matter what.

I hope the tax dollars will be bailing out Wally world when they start buying everything at non profit prices.
Buy a car, drive off the lot and drop 30% = tough luck.
Buy a mortgage at 115% of value and the buyer walks away = Free Bailout by tax payer?
When you cannot see the logic follow the financial trail. Somebody knows somebody and charges will not be laid for about five years from now. After the senate review of criminal activity.
IMHO
geez Barb, i'm on a diet and you mention jr. Mints! not fair!
