Lehman employees gave 3 times the money to Obama as to McCain. F-em.

It is kind of hard to feel for companies (not saying Lehman is) that give loans to people with very bad credit, make risky investment, and do other very foolish things.

BINGO

Fannie and Freddie were dem "full employment" rip-offs. They caused this... these bail-outs will be worse than letting reality happen...

But the money is used to buy capital, which produces things more efficiently, which allows poorer people to afford more and more

They simply cannot get over the fact that efficiency leads to job loss (replace humans with better, faster machines or better, faster processes) in SOME sectors. But then, that opens up opportunities in other areas for job growth (programming, shipping, etc...).

Capitalism's fault?

Are they serious?

This is the fault of irresponsible humans at war against market forces. If any ‘ism is at fault it's socialism. If a truly free market reigned all these suicidal loans would have never been approved of in the first place. Too many people in the business would have "If I give this person a loan my butt might get fired" or "Our shareholders will get pissed" in the back of their minds. Now if those do gooders in DC said "We will work with/for you etc." well...

Banks with the backing of a CENTRAL GOVERNMENT (That never forces businesses to do their bidding /s) tried the ‘pie in the sky’, ‘everyone deserves to live beyond their means’, ‘let us get our poor people loan’ and it was good for awhile. If these idiots think this represents capitalism they must of slept through their economic classes.

If anything capitalism should be the correcting mechanism that will get us out of this position and most importantly TEACH the lesson. But in the end the mechanism that brought this debacle on will be the idiot teacher, government will save us all, Yeahhhhh Hawwwwww!!!!

Look harder at Bill Clinton and Henry Cisneros.

Problem started there, with Congress giving a giant helping hand.

And who put those Congress critters in office? Who voted for those RINO’s that supported such legislation?

A friend is a SVP at Moody’s and an expert in forensic accounting and analysis. He called the Asia crash in 97. He has been predicting these events for nearly two years. He says this will come to look like something very few of us are old enough to have experienced....and he doesn’t mean the Carter years.

Those are people who have never really experienced a job loss and the period where you can’t find a job no matter how hard you try.
