    Good on the government! Seriously, I couldn't care less about the lenders or the stupid people who took on overwhelming risk/debt. To be honest I am curious how all this plays out because I want to know how it effects the various facets of society in general. Unfortunately, our species probably still isn't smart enough to really be proactive enough to take the big leaps and bounds I think we need. That could just be because we are all quite different at an individual level, though.

    Well, golly gee, that 20 million did the government a whole lot of good keepin' em out of the tar patch didn't it! I think they should try to get their 20 million returned to them, plus a salary refund on all the people who got the report from this "mole" and did nothing about it. They then can use that to pay for the bonuses of the people who worked for $1 a year and thought they would get paid in March, only Mr. Liddy was too much of a coward to go to bat for them in the face of an angry lynch mob of ill-informed American taxpayers, stirred up by the MSM's shamelessly financially illiterate rabble-rousing reporting on the bonus system, while Goldman and Deutch bank and others carted off billions, paid in full by the US taxpayer for settling CDS's at 100 cents on the dollar when Lehman settled for 25 cents on the dollar. Ho, Ho, HO! Christmas came early this year!

    Nick, I didn't think about that angle, but it should be an obvious one. Thanks.
