Bear Stearns just had two hedge funds go bankrupt. Where was the bail out? All you talk about is rich people and the bad things they are doing with no proof, just assumptions. That’s why I say you have class envy.
The feds are increasing the money supply and are under pressure to drop the interest rates. Investment bankers are already burning the phone lines screaming at their contacts in Wash DC that the losses are huge and unless the feds provide some relief they will cause more panic by pressing the media and etc. Give it time and you will see the senators/reps representing San Francisco, Chicago and New York City (center of US finances) demand the feds to do something to provide relief.
