[quote=SD Realtor]Also still taking bets on a federal bailout. I believe the dems are gonna push for it.[/quote]
Why not? The precedent was set when the govt/Fed bailed out all of the financial institutions and the capitalists (and loser borrowers/gamblers who were clearly every bit as responsible for the debacle as the lenders and other speculators) who drove our economy into the ground. We’re still paying for it dearly, in the form of 0-1% savings rates on savings. Personally, this “tax” is much, much greater than any tax that would be required to bail out Detroit.
