What we do know factually is that it cost us vastly less than the worst case forecasters (and present day shrill voices) would have you believe.

If I have a particular issue, it's that there was not sufficient punitive measures incorporated. CEOs/Bank Officers of bailed out banks should have been PERSONALLY FINED -- say their last 2 years salaries+bonuses and/or put into prison for a year.

I also believe we went SOFT on the regulation of Wall Street -- in retrospect I believe we'll view that as a missed opportunity to have something good come out of the collapse.


Would that punishment also include BJ Barney Frank & Crooked Chris Dodd, and all of the Fannie and Freddie bankers, oh, and all the Clintonistas that pushed Fannie & Freddie into crazy No Qualified loans????? Just want to make sure all the Political Responsible Bases are cover.
