I DON'T SEE ANY HANDCUFFS! DO YOU?
Call me silly but ....
If YOU rip off the bank where you do business, you will:
1. Get sued.
2. Might get prosecuted.
In any event, nobody is going to go TSE, TSE, TSE and ask you how much money would you like to go away.
Forgive the anger, here. WHERE IS THE LIST OF BANK AND INSURANCE COMPANY EXECUTIVES WHO HAVE BEEN HANDCUFFED AND ARE BEING PROSECUTED?
For my money, AND IT IS YOUR AND MY MONEY IN THE BAIL-OUT KITTY, I want many pounds of flesh from those greedy bastards.
Also add to the list the FOOLS (at best they are only fools rather than outright participants) in government who were SO VIGILANTLY WATCHING OUT FOR YOU AND ME while we were getting such a royal shafting!
Memo to the Feds.:
If you are going to give GM a few billion dollars, send Barns a billion or so. Barns HAS NOT SUCKED BILLIONS OUT OF THE ECONOMY OR TREASURY AS GM HAS. Consider it a bonus for proper behavior for a righteous citizen. I promise to give 62% of it away to righteous citizens.

In Russia, this not will happen. Government jails business people who do wrong to government. Most big money people in Russia escape and run to other country. Here they get shot for stealing like in the old days.

We can't shoot them here. We have to jail them. Like the CEOs of GM, Ford and Chrysler who go to Congress begging for many billions. Then they get back on their private jets, play some golf and lay off a few hundred thousand mover workers.

Top of the mornin to you. We are already socialists here in so many ways. Our brothers in arms across the pond: you are just starting to play at socialism. I don't think you will do a bang up job of it, really. I reckon a couple of your big boys will get some comeuppance sometime. First you will spend a billion dollars. May I say waste a few billion?

At least the bail out plan for the banks is being reconsidered. Buying stock to infuse money into banks is a better business deal than buying bad debts.

on 11/18 at 05:01AM PTA hearty AMEN to that, brother.
At least you and I are getting something for our hard earned money.
Even if it is STOCK IN PATHETICALLY MANAGED COMPANIES, RUN BY PEOPLE WHO BELONG IN FEDERAL PENITENTIARIES.
Oh well. Back to us being lousy socialists and stupid capitalists.

I agree 100%. Though trying to legislate big business behavior/ethics will be considered by some to be "Socialist" too. Although, I disagree with that. It seems like we've slipped back into Laissez Faire politics of a century ago. Even Greenspan is recanting his idea of business being balanced like nature. Let's not underestimate the power of greed again.

You have got to be joking. ThAts not how it works in the US. THe last banker to go to jail was McCain's friend Keating. The rest go on with their huge severance bonuses. You and I would go to prison for what those carpetbagers have done.
