I agree with Kaj on the bailout. I hope the US doesn't bail people or companies out. They made the loans, let them deal with it. I don't buy the whole "They tricked me" and "I didn't know what I was doing" crap. You put that much money/credit into something you should know the score. If not, your [censored].
