I was thinking the same thing this morning as they were discussing the bailout. Small business makes up most of the business in the U.S. but the Fed will never bailout Joe Shmoe's business if he is about to go under because of bad business decisions.

Meanwhile the Bush Administration also bails out homeowners who can't pay off their mortgages because they over extended themselves and is going to give millions of people a "tax rebate" that comes from other taxpayers and won't fix the problem in the long run. It's a shell game.

Compounding the problem are the socialists Democrats who are doing everything they can to raise taxes by ending the tax cuts. In the end the taxpayer will get stuck with the bill for the whole mess.

Just how many tens of millions of dollars has Mr. Cayne made as head of this failed enterprise and its stupid financial transactions? And just how much is he going to reimburse the taxpayers for bailing his sorry company out while small shops and businesses with good management are left to rot on their own?
