So I don't think the GOP is really going to be able to try to foist this off on a few heads of GSEs like the Fannies and Freddies when it created the conditions that led to the crisis. Not to mention John McCain's admitted corruption in paving the way for the Saving and Loans crisis of the late 1980s --- heckuva job, Brownie!<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, you're absolutely right that this unprecedented swindle of the tax payers; the 700 billion dollar bailout has no conditions, no terms attached; the Wall Streeters just want it, you know, because they're MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, and we, the PEople, are just supposed to pony up -- it really is outrageous. Of course, the Administration and Sec. Paulson are 100% behind this lunacy, while Obama and Rep. Pelosi have at least suggested that we the taxpayers be given some sort of guarantee that these frauds won't just abscond with our billions. It's as though we had a friend who was in serial car accidents; after totalling his new 'Vette, he wants the keys to another, and no questions asked. Un-be-friggin'-lievable, the gall of these guys. It must be nice to work in an industry where massive failure, recklessness and irresponsibility are so richly rewarded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
