Dude,
Assuming for the sake of argument that the above is true... $700 Billion? Really?
With 8 years of quality conservative leadership to fix the problems that Clinton created, several of which the republicans controlled congress too...
$700 Billion in loans that the banks had no choice to make under federal law?
Really?

Ya know, I've been thinking. Instead of bailing all these assholes out wouldn't it make more sense for the Federal Government to put that 750 Billion with a B dollars into one large pool and then when "the average American needs to buy a car or get a loan to send their children to school, or a small business needs a loan to buy materials" ( which is their stated reason that this has to happen and happen fast.) to borrow it directly from the pool and then pay it back with say a 5% interest rate? Wouldn't we all be better off and feel the money was better spent? How come we pay these assholes up there and they don't think of stuff like that?
