Have you ever SEEN DiFazio? Tough talk from that dude is kind of hard to take seriously. I'm sure he's a good guy and all, but he doesn't exactly scream "tough" from an appearance standpoint. It's a huge mess right now, and as much as I hate to say it, we need to let some companies lead themselves out of business. They should not be allowed to use the federal government and tax funds as idiocy insurance, but that's what they are doing. Don't help them, if they have created their own problems. Let them swing and rebuild. It's the only thing that makes long-term sense. Jerry Hmmm. Have you ever SEEN DiFazio? Tough talk from that dude is kind of hard to take seriously.

So was most of the american public from what I have been hearing. My bank was one of those banks that got purchased with bailout money, apparently they didn't qualify to receive any of the bailout money, so they were on the verge of failing. I still cant get BofA to lower my credit card interest or stop Balance Chasing my limit. (which I realize is not directly related) My point is, this crisis stemmed from bad mortgages, yet the "bailout" did nothing to help people with mortgage issues. Now we are all wondering why even after banks have received all this money that nothing is changed? I am not surprised. Just look at the attitude of AIG or any of the other companies that received govt money. John Stewart summed it up when he asked why everyone was so surprised that the Banking industry is acting like a bunch of douches with no oversight. Nothing surprises me anymore.
