Well put. My comment was overly harsh, more driven by some recent reading. The tax payer is getting screwed to no end and I don't think people fully realize that fact. Paulson frightened congress shitless to pass a poorly drafted pot of gold that was quickly emptied and nothing got better, lots got worse, and no one knows exactly where the hell all the dough went. Meanwhile he's gone, banks are not making lending easier to anyone, let alone their best customers and now company after company is suddenly in trouble "this quarter" (seemingly at least) and "too big to be allowed to fail." Quite frankly they see a sucker government that is willing to dump money on the fire which just like the bank bailout, will only benefit the high ranking CEO's and nothing fundamentally will change. Lehman collapsed and they deserved to and I'm glad they weren't bailed out. I say make an example out of someone, let GM collapse and I'm sure in 5 years no one will miss them.
