mmayr- we're in a lot closer agreement than you may think. I too realize the necessity of the bailout. I don't like it but the alternative would be far worse. The point I'm trying to make more so is the fact that so many people have skipped with billions in salaries and bonuses and dividends and are laughing all the way to the bank while the hard earned monies of average people like us are paying for their misdeeds. I guess what I'm trying to say is I want my pound of flesh. Inept regulators should be fired. Investigations into what went on in the boardrooms should be convened. Did you see the night Lehman went under? People were taking boxes of stuff out of the building and no one was there to stop them. Any evidence of criminal activity went walking away into the night. I want the people charged with protecting taxpayer interests held accountable. I don't think I'm asking too much.
