Interesting thread. I find amusing Brewer's faith in the Republicans being anti-big government (War in Iraq? Illegal spying and evesdropping on U.S. Citizens' communications? Holding citizens without trial? Medicare drug hike is fiscally conservative? Not sure...) But I'm getting off topic here.

About bail-outs: the government has been screwing the citizens and bailing out cronies longer than anyone here has been alive. Just look at the depreciation of the dollar just in your lifetime. It's headed for zero, and then we will have an unpleasant time for all.

The biggest problem with government bail-outs is we're against them when they're for somebody else, but when YOUR ass is in a sling, of course the government should bail me out!
