I don't like the bailout one bit, but I also think that if we don't share some of the load now the whole damned roof is gonna fall in and a lot more people are going to get hurt a la a depression of the sort my parents had to struggle through. There's plenty of blame to go around, too, despite madmex's idea that only one person is to blame. I hate to see bigger government and more regulations but the greed and stupidity of so many people that drove this crisis to this point needs to be halted somehow.
