what you say may be true except it is for Main Street because if it doesnt work, it wont be Franklin Raines and John Thain and Dick Fuld on the bread lines. They still have enough to survive and perhaps some of us here too. But the average living hand to mouth family will be in horrific shape without this attempt.

I'm beginning to think that this last, vast bailout is the Bush admin's way of grabbing the taxpayer's ankles, holding him upside down and shaking the pocket change he's been left with out before leaving office. Completing the job of starving future government to where it's small enough to drown in a bathtub, ala Grover Norquist.

Mission Accomplished! The neos on this thread will applaud!

And the thing to remember is this bailout is not just for Wall Street.....its for Main Street as well.

It's for WS but MS picks up the bill. It may be necessary but it's anything but fair.


The vast majority of the banks that this bailout will benefit are MS banks, not WS.
