The finance sector pays 15% of all federal revenues. Roughly half a trillion a year. When they need maybe one year's worth of that to get through the most serious financial crisis in a generation, everyone in both parties screams "robbery! destroy them all!"

I just hate these people. They have all taken commie poison and they are all rat bastards.

Jason, you seem to have some very well informed and strong opinions on what needs to be done here.

I am an engineer by training and do not pretend to understand economics. My education in this area is woefully inadequate.

My question to you is: How did we get here so fast? Two months ago I was hearing that the underpinning of the economy was sound.

What the hell happened?
