The latest trend is for Wall Street to complain about tax money being used to bailout homeowners who are on the brink of foreclosure. But they have short memories. These firms are the ones who wrote the bad loans. Two groups of people were responsible- those who gave out the irresponsible bad loans and those who accepted them. They also received $700 billion in taxpayer money with no strings attached (much of it was spent on corporate parties, lavish advertising campaigns, bonuses, and corporate jets) even after they were responsible for running the economy into the ground. If you receive over $700 billion dollars, you can't be a hypocrite.</p></blockquote><p></p>
