An honest question

...So when (yes, when, not if...) congress finally passes this "bailout" bill, is one of the conditions going to be that all the executive positions at those banks be sacked without severance, fined heavily, and they can thank their lucky stars if they don't go to prison? I'm just wondering...

How anyone can actually be so far in denial as to think that throwing nonexistent money after bad money is going to fix this problem...is beyond me anyway. Like the passengers on the "unsinkable" Titanic, most still believe there is a way to save the ship. And unfortunately, like the Titanic, there aren't enough lifeboats for all. What this bailout amounts to is nothing more than making sure the first class passengers have first dibs on the lifeboats.

Let them sink, I say, because we're all going to sink anyway.
