Funny the government goes after shorts, commodity investors, and leveraged funds, to regulate them, while the sacred OTC derivatives that actually blew up remain untouched. I sense the objective here is not to regulate, but to manipulate.

Cash for clunkers pissed me off. It was just one more government cash give away that I did not qualify for. Plus I had just sold an old rusty pick-up truck for $700 that was the only vehicle I owned that would have qualified. So I missed getting $4500 for a $700 truck by a hair. <g> How many people that did not qualify even realize that they just helped Joe Blow down the street buy a new car while maybe their own car is falling apart and they are struggling to pay their bills? And people are not in the streets protesting? US citizens have to be hands-down the biggest, dumbest, sheep on the planet. (no offense intended <g>)
