US Bancorp: The Other Big Bank with Big Problems

Moron author, as usual. USB didn't give loans to anything that breathed unlike BAC, Citi and others. USB will do just fine thank you very much because they had integrity when everyone else had greed. TARP is being crammed down their throat. The stock price will recover unless USB is forced to mollycoddle those that bought above their means and are now whining.

That Sucking Sound? It's FDIC Insurance Taking Over

RAB-then those people who invest in companies should be bailed out when there is a loss! Obviously, you're one of the ones who need the bailout. Stop whining and blaming the sales people. Read the fine print. Get educated!

That Sucking Sound? It's FDIC Insurance Taking Over

Buy a house way over your head in affordability. Don't make the payments. Stay in the house during the foreclosure process-free of charge of course. A forced move. Onwards and upwards to another home thanks to the U.S. Government bailing out a bunch of people who didn't have the intellect to spell cat even when spotted the "c" and the "a", let alone read what they signed without hesitation. Did Uncle Sam bail out the stockholders in 2000 when the market tanked? No. Why should we bail out these irresponsible people now? Why is it that we as taxpayers are sucked dry because of the stupidity of a few? Why does this government reward welfare behavior? Here's a solution: get off your rumps, work for a living, and live BELOW your means. Stop expecting everyone else to rescue you from your own ignorance. Gee, wonder why we have an immigration issue? Who wouldn't want to come here with the free ride for education, medical care, housing, food stamps, etc.? When will this dumbing down of America come to an end?
