The USA is not in a position to bailout any banks because they are 9 TRILLION !!!!!$in dept. They need to stop spending and putting Evel people like Clinton and Bush in power.

I will contribute to the bailout fund if Henry (Hank) Paulson — U.S. Treasury Secretary, former Goldman Sachs CEO, and all-around bald guy ponies up the $200 million in capital gains tax he was exempt from having to pay. It seems Hank made a bundle from 2003 to 2006 and did not have to show Uncle Sam the money. I made around $17,776 during the same period and though I have already paid Uncle Sam, I would cough in a few more bucks if Hank throws up, err in, his $200 million.

HalcyonRain321: Who besides Wall Street was drunk? Inaccurate credit ratings, Mortgage fraud by borrowers from US Department of the Treasury...Misrepresentation of loan application data and mortgage fraud are other contributing factors.Mortgage brokers do not lend their own money. The chairman of the Mortgage Bankers Association claimed brokers profited from a home loan boom but didn't do enough to examine whether borrowers could repay. Excessive underwriting of high-risk mortgages.ETC.

HalcyonRain321: "Life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness " One of the most famous phrases in the US Declaration of Independence. These three aspects are listed among the "inalienable rights" of man. Corruption by greedy CEO's on Wall Street was not one of them. Nor should American Taxpayers have to bail them out while these CEO's get millions in compensation. Greedy & Corrupt CEO's on Wall Street > the words of Senator John McCain during his speech when he referred to our economic crisis.

Bush is a scumbag before he is an idiot.

Thank you Ann Curry. If Wall Street Got Drunk President Bush, then what was Congress doing while it was happening? Henry Paulson> US Treasury Secretary assumed office on 7-3-2006, previously served as Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs.This economic crisis didn't just happen overnight either. The $700B Bailout shows the world how a once Capitalist society turned into a Socialist one by allowing greedy & corrupt CEO's to mismanage billions of dollars & then bailing them out.
