The thieves should get nothing. I would like someone to show us the profits that the companies involved in the bailout made from 2005 through 2007. I would also like to know the bonuses that their employees made during that same time.]]> Wed, 24 Sep 2008 03:22:22 -0400

I think Wall Street acted as thieves. They created loans that required no documentation, evidence of employment or downpayment. In some cases home buyers were taking cash out at closing, so in essence they were being paid to buy the home! Wall Street bundled these "Mortgages" together and sold them as AAA rated! That's criminal.

We should not bail out the thieves. ]]> Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:06:17 -0400

Anyone that rode AIG from the high 60's or Goldman Sachs from 220 to their current values deserves what they get. When you put your money in the market, whether actively managing it, or through an index fund, THERE IS RISK.

Hopefully Mr. Paulson doesn't get his Blank Check and Congress will insist on a better deal for the Tax Payers instead of Wall Street.
