This "bail out" is complete nonsense - another Bush 'wolf'!! What's with these "experts" like Ben Stein going on that the U.S. was founded on 'capitalism'. It wasn't. The Constitution starts "We the people..." not "We the corporations", nor "We the piles of gold". The intent was individual free enterprise and opportunity for all, not enslavement to the moneyed few hiding behind imaginary legal constructs.

Now the same twits that foam at the mouth about personal responsibility when someone suggests a disadvantaged citizen should have a shot at an education or medical care, are all lining up to donate tax dollars to people who have neither personal responsibility nor any real accountability.

These are the same babies that decide that drug companies don't have to pay when they kill people; that tobacco companies aren't really responsible for thousands of deaths per year - one every 6 seconds; and "we the people" have to either live with or clean up the messes left by big oil and big nuclear.

Get a grip, people. Very little of Reagan's "trickle down" trickled down and there is absolutely no reason to shove $700 billion back up to them. Make the upper 10% of these companies' executives lose everything like most of the former homeowners who were talked into bad mortgages. And I mean everything. Lose their houses, their yachts, their Beemers and their pensions. Put the beggars out onto the street and tell them to accept a bit of personal responsibility. "Get a job", as the Republicans would say.

Bankers and their screwball "enterprises" going broke? Welcome to the world the rest of us live in.
