    If by greed of some you mean congress or all politicians, then yes.

    You cannot possibly mean to regulate personal greed.

    No, so why did you make that up? I said that greed was responsible for investment banks making irresponsible loans and counting on a bailout to cover them.

    And had we allowed the market to work, they would have eliminated themselves. Instead we infused the greedy bastards with billions of dollars. Tell me again how that hurt them?

    It is hard for me to do that when you favor taking billions from hardworking taxpayers to give to your special interests.

    The second to last thing Obama wanted to see was Wall St. bailed out. The last thing he wanted to see was this country go into another Great Depression.

    An often referenced guy in this thread said that one of the errors of govt during the depression was letting the availability of money shrink. All of the bs govt programs did nothing to bring America out of the depression but investing and putting money back into circulation (giving the greedy bastards what they lost) would have made it just a recession event. In reality, these greedy bastards don't loose their money, they loose OUR money.

    If Obama let these guys go down then we would have all sank with the ship.

    An outright lie that I have no advocated and an attempt to change the subject. Lame.

    It's hard to miss at the top of your head.
