I think the bailouts are a bad idea. I think they alleviate some short-term suffering, but are largely just postponing the inevitable collapse of poorly-run institutions. They made their beds, let them lie in 'em. Let the market punish businesses that acted stupidly. It'll hurt us more in the long run if we try to prop them up.

Let bad companies die... its like the airline industry, others will take thier place. The clients money is still safe and can be picked up by other ... better.. companies. -------------------- |
