It's against everything America stands for, to have the government choosing who "lives" and who "dies".
Capitalism? Oh look, there's some rich folk, lets just take their money away and give it to the poor. Oh no, poor joey fell down, lets give him money. Seriously...come on.

Wouldn't say its a bad idea, since it was arguably necessary. The way we got to this point is very wrong.
Anyone else see the beginning of Socialism? Corruption, mass stupidity, Obama winning... it all adds up.

The company is selling itself anyways... so the bailout was a waste.

you are speaking of the $150 bn to AIG and how AiG is now selling portions of its position to places like japan and abu Dhabi?
http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2008/12/02/aig_sells_private_bank_to_abu_dhabi_firm_for_254m
http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssFinancialServicesAndRealEstateNews/idUST27403620081203
or another co?
also, this is an old thread, incase anyone missed it another 800bn for commercial paper was added last week.
frontline finally did a report.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meltdown/view/
disappointing imo, not nearly enough of the full story/history of how/why that makes it such a crucial lesson in "theory" social vs capital
whats worse i can tell most people know very little of how this happened, and the links i provided on the reporting done of how/why has it all, very clear. crystal. but thats another issue, people tend to make up their minds on principal without always a lesson on the specifics
the 5 questions i pose is a litmus test, until you can answer or even just ponder them, u know "NOTHING!" as Jim Cramer put it in aug 07
NOTHING on the issue,.. had u been able to answer them, and understand them, u would likely have much more to say imo, and it would have a better point too.

“These guys at these companies were on a Sherman’s March through these companies financed by our 401ks and all the incentives of their companies were for short-term profit and they burned the f----g house down with our money and walked away rich as hell!”
No jokes their Daily show, bravo!
god i wish it was Rick santelli they bruised up,, that man is a MORON,
his logic; "shark" should blame the bait for being easily tricked, dieing off too quickly and starving the shark.. and refuses to take responsibility and out of principal would never cultivate his own bait.
