Very unsettling times!

Ok, so why not fix the market now, saving the companies now and bring in (bring back) regulation to the market. Cause apparently a free market, that everyone is arguing to protect, didn't work.

Every major form of government has its plus and minus, be it democracy, socialism, or communism. Unfortuntly in democracy, major decisions, are made due public outcry and fear of that public's vote.

If you guys think that these new independent banks will be headed by a CEO that didn't come from the same school as the ones that command the failing banks now, and you think that they will put the publics interest higher then their own pockets, and the government is all out to get you, so be it. Guess there's no sense in it.

This government isn't and was never meant to be a Democracy. The person being empowered by the bailout bill is the Treasury Secretary who was the Goldman Sachs CEO. That doesn't strike you as a gross abuse in any way?

So glad we decided to waste 700 BILLION dollars. Since the bailout bill passed the stock market had dropped over 1000 points, I can't remember the last time we were so close to 9000 points. Guess investors still don't want to risk their money. Did I call it or what JC?

They should have let the chips fall and let the market correct itself.

no sense complaining about it.. complaining does about as much as the bill itself did.
