It's so wrong. The vast majority of the money will bail-out people who really don't need government support. I think they should fund their welfare system (to the tune of $700 billion if necessary) so that there is a safety net for people at the bottom who really do need government assistance. The shareholders and the like should be allowed to lose their shirts as I'm sure they have a spare in the wardrobe. I'm not sure it matters that the odd bank will bubble under.
Am I the only free marketeer?
