Seriously? Did I wake up in some kind of parallel bizarro world this morning where this kind of thing is a good idea?
No, and the people that actually would enact such a thing don't think so either. Paulson isn't getting a blank check, there will be oversight and other protections.
Personally I'm against the idea of a bailout. I think if a company fucked itself over giving out loans to customers who couldn't afford them they should be taken to task for it. -

Moral of the story: fuck up so royally that others can't afford to lose you.
Hopefully, we'll move to a point in a few years where one company can't get into so many areas that losing it would be catastrophic. - Show next comments 3 more
