Funding the Fannie/Freddie Bailout: Why Taxpayers Will Get Stuck With the Tab

I never thought about it this way. I guess when the housing prices began to decline they were forced by our capitalist economy to either take risky loans or lose business or profit share. I wonder though, does this mean the government would bail out Wal-Mart, if they begin to fail since they are so integral to our economy? At which point will our “hands off” government remain hands off in the financial sector? Too, why is the socialized government model so despised, if some companies and some people need it at times? Can’t we as Americans just pull our heads out of our asses and take an objective look at how corrupt our government can became, and realize; regulation doesn’t necessarily mean lower productivity.
