Are we rationing gas? Are we seeing breadlines at a gov't bakery? Has the sky fallen?

I'm with you on the bailout. I say NO BAILOUT. But buying a couch verses a loan for tens of thousands of dollars to buy a home or put on a home addition are two entirely different things. Also the effects of the institutions that will go under are going to take awhile to work through the system . But for the most part I believe these jokers in Washington are just trying to protect stock holders. No one else. This is easy for me to say because I don't have a family to feed. But I say let those institutions reap what they sowed and go under. Even if the consequences of that do affect me. I am willing to suffer to see justice done to these jerks.
