I know what you mean. This is ridiculous - Just let them fail. You have the auto makers, insurance companies, wall street, and main street begging to the government like starving people. Especially when the CEO's of the companies are getting millions in severance pay from the bail out. I am tired of us tax payers lining the pockets of greedy idiots.

I here by announce my running for the senate in 2010 !!

AIG had another party last week. They spent 340,000.00 of the tax payers money on it ♦!! Some one shut that place down and give the money back to the public. NO MORE BAIL OUTS !!

From my angle, the bailout appears to be the most bipartisan issue since the Iraq War, and we know how that turned out. Dem AND Republican cogressional-types both supported it in droves.
I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I really feel like the bailout is a concerted theft. Where is all this goddamn money going? Over a trillion dollars, and there's zero indication that anything good happened. The banks are using the money to buy other banks, from what I've heard, and yesterday revealed one bank paying 500 million in bonuses, but still nobody has cash to keep business moving.
I keep thinking about the movie "Diehard," where the "big catastrophe" is just a cover-up for a rip-off of unimaginable proportions.--->JMS

Hold on to yer hats, I agree with Johnny on this issue. Some have called it the largest transfer of money from average Americans to the elite classes. Its a lot more than 1 trillion dollars, who can even calculate the losses we suffer from the devaluation of the dollar, which affects the middle class the most.
