Simply put this BAILOUT is the Harvard Mafia taking care of itself...and Paulson is the Godfather of it all...here he is having the nerve to say quote:"as painful at it may be the foreclosures have to continue due to people not wanting to fulfill their obligation to pay their mortage or being in a mortgage they could not afford."...and what about Wall Street...who sold us the bill of goods...Are they not in debts that they should not have been..Did THEY NOT TAKE RISK? Why are WE THE PEOPLE allowed to fail and they are not? Why do WE THE PEOPLE have to lose it all yet OUR GOVERMENT bails out the crooks with OUR MONEY?...Simply put OUR FOREFATHERS would have people like Paulson, Bernanke, Cox and Bush strung up on a tree for their crimes of allowing our country to be in this position...
