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.

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. That was a lot of fun."
Yep my dad had a lot of fun also. He came from a family of 12 and was forced to quit school at the end of the fifth grade and went to work in the greenhouses. Yep he and his family really had a lot of fun.
All those other things you mentioned...Yes, the government does them, but I think they do a mediocre to down-right crappy job at doing them.
And the private financial industry has done such a wonderful job?
So if the "free" market needs to be regulated, how is that "free"?
"Unregulated free market" is an oxymoron. It is a contradiction of terms.
You might want to go back and review the Constitution. The framers of the constitution recognize the danger of unfettered free trade and provided for regulation. Deregulation got us into this mess and re establishing regulations will get us out and keep us out.
