Bill Gross Wants A PIMCO Bailout

Bailouts are just great but wait...why wasn't I helped during the same time Chrysler was in trouble? Where were you when the builders knowingly put defective LP siding on my house 12 years ago? It had to be replaced at my own cost...where were you?

Several days ago I read a pathetic story about all the ex football jocks (NFL) that are suffering in so much pain from their past injuries.

"Then there's Dave Pear , a nose tackle who was the first Pro Bowler for Tampa Bay and who played for Oakland in Super Bowl xv. He's had four disks fused, has four screws in his back that need to be replaced. He takes about 25 pills a day and draws disability through Social Security.

With tears dripping down his cheeks, he described the agony he's putting his family through.

"My wife has to carry a big load," he said. "It's not fair"

Or, the terrible tale of poor Brian DeMarco whose back is held together by a titanium rod screwed into his hips...oh his rebuilt knees...oh his painful shoulder...oh his several times being homeless...and oh his suicidal thoughts...just so his wife and kids could have his death benefit,( someone tell him that a suicide is an exclusion on most policies ).

What am I getting at here: Was the homeowner forced to get an adjustable rate mortgage on that $300K home they had when they only made $50K between them and found a broker to close the deal. Who forced them to by a house that any cognizant adult with a calculator could determine was too costly for them?

Who forced these sports figures to play a very violent and dangerous sport and not have to contend with the concomitant results. Did NIKE force them?

Or, did they just want the money and fame first...and no worries about the consequences.

R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y folks...try it, it works

Can't w all set the right precedents starting now.
