I think if the CEOs of AGI and a couple of other firms were dragged out of their offices, into the streets, and shot in the head, we might see a better return on our money.

Of course, we cannot do that. They can bring an enitre nation to its knees, wiping out the savings of millions of individuals, but we must protect them, because, uh, um, because, uh, they're rich, I guess . . .

We can't get people to pay their unpaid parking tickets. Do we really expect these companies to willingly pay back TARP monies? Especially when they mockingly gave their bigwigs inappropriately timed payouts and bonuses?

This guy was dancing around the answers to the questions. He had all he could do not to smile. Whose fault is it? You won't/can't say it? Come on, we already know the answer to that.

Orbs - Did you see NBC news tonight? The Obama administration will be ordering pay slashes to the heads of the companies we bailed out. It's a start anyway.

Yeah, I saw it on Google news, but I don't like the idea of the govt butting into business. I don't think the govt should be bailing out private enterprise, either, but I also understand the concept of too big too fail. It's a mess. And as always, the little guy takes it in the nuts.

My ravings are also those of an economically uneducated person. I think I do have enough IQ, however, to appreciate the enormity and complexity of the problems. I wouldn't have any idea of how to "fix" things.
