Unless you're a well connected investment bank.
When I read that Paulson was conferring with Goldman Saks (who had a 20B stake in AIG) prior to the bail out of AIG I blew my top. This whole thing is so "in bred" by a bunch of northeast elitists and the rest of the country pays the price.
Very credible people have presented alternatives that don't cost anywhere near as much and do not involve the govt. taking so dramatic a role in determining who wins and loses, yet these ideas are ignored or just given lip service. It is very frustrating.
