Why are you against Fannie and Freddie being set up in the first place? What would you have in their stead...nothing? Why? They were private corporations so you are against them being private? Why? If you don't like Fannie and Freddie, why do you like the FDIC? I'm also not talking about the $100K but the $250K insurance. Good or bad and why? So you are fine with GM, Ford and Chrysler going belly up this year. I think they are all in pretty dire situations today. So you are against all stimulus plans. Are you against the government doing anything to help the economy? Are you happy to see it slide into depression?

You asked me for specifics and I provided you with the following but you didn't answer: ----Are you against current government aid or money flowing to: AIG, Bear Stearns, Fannie and Freddie, Indymac through the FDIC, backstopping of MMFs, increase in FDIC insurance, etc. Are you against all aid to GM, Ford and Chrysler that will prevent bankruptcies of one or perhaps all of them? What do you think the consequences of no money going to them would have been or would be? What do think should have happened with Lehman?
