Sometimes ya gotta bleed alittle bit...The more the gov't bails out these companies, the more you promote the behavior. "Oh, don't worry the gov't will step in and make it all good"....Uncertain times, for sure.
i forget the actual numbers but the CEOs for Lehman, and AIG and Fannie Mae etc. all walked away with a few billion dollars.
