I can't agree more. The American people are so stupid not to realize that these bailouts do nothing but preserve the assets of the wealthy financialists who cause the problem, screw the small investor, and stick the taxpayer with the bill, while double taxing them via the inflation caused by the Fed "creating" the money for the bailouts in the first place. It is a true sign of this how far this country has fallen that there isn't riots in the streets of New York and Washington. Instead the average American nods their head in approval at the government and Fed "coming to the rescue" of their economy. Sickening.
