Wall Street can wait a little longer. Investment houses don’t bleed. This is not a life-and-death matter for artificial lifeforms conceived in law, born on paper, and engineered to relentlessly pursue profit. The bottom line is, as actor Michael Biehn said of “The Terminator,” that’s what a corporation does. That’s all it does.
Socialism for the rich when their greed gets them into trouble, that's what the current "Bailout" bill represents. It says we can give these same bastards almost infinite money to compensate them for their losses. Hey, I want such a deal. I lost a lot of money because of my unwise decisions. Would it be reasonable for me to ask the government - or anyone - to make up for my loss? I guess I'm small enough to fail. But the principle is pretty much the same: in an unregulated market, the players MUST endure the consequences.
Now is the time to craft a remedy that helps the BOTTOM of the economic system, not the top. As someone has said: "Trickle-down economics makes most of us peons."
