I think it shows who the gov't really works for. But if it happens I hope we make money on these "assists" in the long term. Hmmm, I wonder if the gov't will buy my van and throw me a bonus while they're at it. As always, thanks for the comments!

Not only because of the economy that will keep getting worse for some time, but also because of the actions of our government. Personally I can't afford to bail out every financial institution on Wall Street when they have a bad year. I believe our kids and grandkids will be the victims of what is happening now. Because of the excellent welfare system that is in place for the rich they will be fine, but the middle class will not exist in the future. I think we need to be very worried.
