No, not the GM's or AIG's,but the small business who fed the closed companies that used to employ 100-125 workers,or fixed their shoes,or cleaned their suits.
IBM does 71% of there business in other than the US There goes another 5,000 high end workers. Maybe you big shots who are ready to let every company fail will start a multi billion dollars business & hire the back office people, waitress staff & every one of those who were not making millions a year, but just trying to keep home & family together!

Cramer's Stop Trading! Will the Banks Be Nationalized? (1/15/09) http://seekingalpha.com/article/115090-cramer-s-stop-trading-will-the-banks-be-nationalized-1-15-09?source=feed#comment-357588 357588 Doesn't anybody out there think that if we the investor were offered 10-11% for guaranteed preferred shares that our wonderful country that is the reason Capitalism is the envy of the entire world, except maybe Cuba & North Korea would have paid for mistakes banks & insurance companies made. Of course nobody remembers (especially in Washington) the phrase Redlining that forced these companies to give loans & mortgages to people who should never have been in their own home in the first place? Politicians truly have the shortest memory in our history.
Capitalist or Socialist, what would you rather have in America?
