Where are all the capitalists on this board since the bailout of Bear Stearns, AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?  Why is it ok to privatize profits but socialize losses????  Next are the loans to the Automakers to make fuel efficient cars.  People on the right call Obama a socialist - isn't this socialism????  I know if I make a bad decision - no one is going to bail me out.  What about all the small fries getting foreclosed on?  Shouldn't they have a chance for a bailout - or is it just the corporations who "are too big to fail?" that get this gratuitous giveaway.....

Frankly, if you look at the threads, you'll find that most of us oppose those bail outs.
