i quote from the article i posted above
A socialism where profits are privatized and losses are socialized with the US tax-payer being charged the bill of $300 billion.
that should be a trilliong dollars in just 10 days, since lehman failed and meryl lynch was bought and AIG was bailed just in the last 8 days

Many 401ks and retirements sadly have investments in a very unregulated and risky market and thats another reason the feds fear that free market's natural failures due to this lack of regulation and greed of corporations can have disastrous effects on general public and can repeat a depression like experience...so they bail them out and yet again fail to regulate it wisely and prevent any future problems... makes u wonder, now read the quote again and imagine why
