Isn't anybody PISSED?

This bail-out (which at this point, they tell us, is too necessary to be negotiable - which I don't believe based on the research I've done)...
This is OUR tax money people!!! Nobody cares.
Listen, I went through my phase as an idealist when I was younger; I'm over that. I'm not stupid nor uninformed. This bail-out, however, is complete horse poop, and anyone who understands it fully will agree ( I think). The Fed.....
I say, let it all crash and burn. I'd rather dig my way out on my own.

I had heard on a news program that the US gov't had already pumped $350-400 billion into the financial markets and this problem had been known FOR

As for the Great Depression, all I can say is that I once asked my Great Aunt what her family did during that time to survive, and she laughed and replied, "We played a lot of cards.
Was it just Bush that was pushing for this bailout? Can't we just be intellectually honest, and please place blame where it belongs. then vote accordingly. I am talking Dem and Rep. Why do people keep putting the liars and self promoters back into office?
BYW Bush isn't blameless, but he did warn of this crisis at least 17 times in the past 8 years. Can you tell me what any (and I do mean any) Dem did to prevent this problem in the past 8 years?)
Don't believe for a second that no-one knew this was coming. My husband and I have been talking about this for 2 years, if we figured it out, then there is NO WAY that the US government and every senior executive on Wall St. didn't.
I almost drove off the road this morning when Bush said "our country is not facing a choice between government action and the smooth functioning of the free market." Sure it is, but no-one wants the negative consequences of free market functioning.
We all know who knew best. Why else would this have happened in May, 2006:

"He would also bring credibility in the financial markets at a time of huge budget and trade deficits. And he offers expertise in dealing with the rise of China, one of the biggest economic and foreign policy challenges facing the United States."
ISN'T IT INCREDIBLE THAT HE'S NOW GOING TO SAVE US?
"Mr. Paulson's nomination drew praise from business groups, and also from at least a few prominent Democrats who have fiercely criticized Mr. Bush's tax cuts and budget deficits."
THEY KNEW WHAT WAS COMING AND THAT PAULSON WOULD GET THE TAXPAYERS TO BAIL THEM OUT.
"Mr. Paulson's frequent trips to China have paid big dividends for Goldman Sachs, helping the firm snare some of the biggest investment banking deals of the last decade there and giving it the first direct access to Chinese investors of any Western financial institution."
AND NOW PAULSON'S "RESCUE" WILL MEAN BIG DIVIDENDS FOR GOLDMAN SACHS
"Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, who has close ties to Wall Street, said Mr. Paulson was "the best pick that America could have hoped for."
I THINK HE MEANT "THE BEST PICK THAT WALL STREET COULD HAVE HOPED FOR"
