You keep dancing.
Should the government tell AIG they will get no more money from the government?
Please, no long-winded irrelevancies.
Keep misplacing your outrage from where it belongs - the politicians who created much of this mess in the first place. That's what the demagoguing politicians want you to do.
Politicians might have created the mess but not without the full backing of our ed up financial system. Paulson got rid of the regulations that prohibited banks from leveraging themselves 30-1. I am pretty sure I know who came up with the idea( hint- not politicians). Of course reasonable politicians would have never allowed this to occur( in addition to all the bullsh**t that happened in the housing market, precipitated mostly by democrats and Bush). So as we can see politicians of both parties as well as the banks themselves are at fault. And the gall that some people have of blaming the homeowners. They were just mere pawns in the games the financial system chose to play.
