A lot of those "billionaires" are your pension fund, mutual funds and the banks you keep your money in. Don't worry, the stockholders of Lehman & Bear and employees were wiped out so if you must you can still revel in some schadenfreude.

Absolutely, but I only get to revel in it for a short time, because my taxes will be used to bail the rich guys out.

You use the tired old defense "but it is your pension, your mutual fund, blah, blah blah". No one, no way, no how earns in any way a $20 million bonus. This is a rich boy's club protecting itself. That could give a rat's ass about "my" funds. They want there's. All the crying over on Wall Street is over how much money they aren't taking home, not the disintegration of other people's money.

Let's see what these disgraced CEO's take home after this. I'm sure they'll never have to work, worry about insurance for their family, or really care about the price of gas again.

The gap between the rich and everyone else is so great that I will gladly take my lumps financially to witness their total ruin.

But wait, George W. Bush and JohnMcCain say the economy is doing fine! It's healthy. It's fundamentally sound. Maybe I just have a perspective problem.

No.

What has happened is that George W. Bush and the Republicans have ended their term with an assault on the financial infrastructure of this country equal to, if not greater than, the attacks of September 11. I guess it is appropriate to be talking about THAT date during this election season.

Congratulations Republicans! This is what we get when you put "Country First".
