i think the reason there is such a strong push for the bail out is, that for the first time, actually people with money, who are going to fill it. a lot of "rich fucks" were only rich on the paper, not in terms money in hand. you can't take away from people who don't have. i think the real issue here is if the bailout happens the programs have to be cut and it is where the hit on low income is going to come from.
personally the "sky is falling" cry wolf shit is just shit talk of the group of people, who don't want to give up the high life of credit mongers.
