As long as the accountable, no pun intended, are punished, by blue collar terms - not white, then I am with you. But that sets the precedence to bail other "SELECT" companies as decided by who's in office. Then you get a bunch of companies like Amtrak, which are nothing but Government sponsored monopolies. If WCOM goes Chapter 11 and not 7 that will be a disgrace. I personally, financially biased here, hope the banks allow them some recovery room.

Can we ask Congress to pay for Ebber's debts too?

At least some of us on this board does not think it's a rediculous idea to ask congress to help WCOM out, if no entities in the private sector came to rescue. After all, with $5 billion loans, it takes WCOM's fate in its hand. It can always take over and sell the company if worldcom does not seem to be able to create a value. We already see offers of $4-5 billions for parts of WCOM now. If anyone think is a reasonable thing for Congress to act before too many people to get hurt too badly. Let's write to our congress person.
