What would we be saying and doing if a democrat administration had come up with this?

We’d be opposing it, just as we are now.

i’ve sent off emails to both my senators and my congressman to say NO MORE BAILOUTS FOR BAD BEHAVIOR. NO FEMA BAILOUTS FOR PEOPLE ON THE COAST W/O ADEQUATE INSURANCE,OR IN FLOOD PLAINS W/O INSURANCE, OR FREE HEALTH CARE THROUGH THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR PEOPLE, LEGAL AND ILLEGAL, WITHOUT INSURANCE. SEND FANNIE AND FREDDIE CEO AND CFO TO REAL PRISON WITH BUBBA AND THIS CRAP WOULD CEASE IMMEDIATELY.

RE: Mr. P #55 –
Why did you choose to not address the concerns I actually raised in my post and respond with sarcasm instead?

Are you stating then, that the unregulated Credit Default Swaps are not a cause for concern?

Cox testified that regulation and oversight of these instruments must begin immediately, and there appears to be consensus within the financial community. Regulation may be necessary, but it again deflects from the core issue of who specifically is profiting from the bailout? And why should I be on the hook financially for that? Remember, government pays themselves “first” and I don’t have a veto over that.

Buffett calls credit crisis, economic pearl harbor

Buffett is for Buffett. Bloomberg is for Bloomberg. They are on the inside and will make money either way this goes.

I completely agree with Hussman but it doesn’t sound like gov’t is that smart.

Hello, is this thing on?? That's why we shouldn't trust government to fix it!!

Buffet invested in Goldman Sachs and negotiated preferrable terms – 10% ROI and the right to buy common stock at a steep discount.

The taxpayer is asked to pony up cash, no questions asked, with no preferred terms.

Unbelievable.

People confuse leaders of these conglomerates as Capitalists. The Capitalists are the ones who take chances with THEIR OWN money.

Following on #54 rpfinley, et al…

Individuals have had the ‘fredom’ to fail economically throughout our nation’s history – even with dire or morbid outcomes. (And, yes, I’ll offer due recognition to social programs – however justified or not…)…

Why not provide large and powerful organizations that same freedom to fail and ‘feel the pain’ as the humble private individual has had? When that happens, and ONLY when that happens will the people that led those institutions astray learn from their mistakes. Just say ‘Hell No’ to corporate welfare.

…The above not from a die hard free-market capitalist, but from an economic progressive/social conservative.

rpFinley. I am sure much of your fear is justified. But have you ever heard of extortion? We have the same people who have FAILED to protect the market DEMAND more money or else we revisit the GREAT DEPRESION. They then ask us to TRUST them to do what they want with OUR MONEY.

At some point we MUST stand up to those who are THREATENING us.

According to Ben Stein, speculators stand to make almost limitless profits with the failure of these mortgages — is this why Paulson is hinting that $700 Billion might not be enough?

Is this the same Ben Stein that says that speculators have nothing to do with the high oil prices?
