Didn't mean to come off like I was firing back at anybody either Mark, just frustrated. You have every right to be hopping mad, the rest of us are too.

It's criminal what's happened with Fannie and Freddie even if no charges can be hung on anyone under the law. The deeper you dig, the more disgusting it is.

It's way wrong when top management in companies like Shearson Lehman make obscene money even while the company fails. Then they pull the ripcord on their multi-million dollar golden parachutes after bankruptcy. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

The point I was trying to make was I don't know what to do about it.

One thing's for sure, we taxpayers shouldn't allow the federal government to spend 700 billion of our dollars to put a band aid on a sucking chest wound.

Anyways, the posters in this thread have some good points, especially Split. I love BarkleyPup's 3 expectations from the government.
