If we can fork over $85 billion to AIG, pony up as much as $700 billion to rescue the jerks who caused all this mess in the markets in the first place, and spend who knows how many 100s of billions of dollars to basically buy FannieMae and FreddieMac (not to mention the hundreds of billions we have spent waging a war started on false premises), why can’t we provide simple health insurance, a quality education, and employment retraining when needed for every American. The hypocrisy of those who decry government regulation and entitlement programs while padding the pockets of those who should be put in prison for the frauds they have perpetrated on the American people makes me sick.

Oh no … not prison … I (as a tax payer) am not paying one more red cent for those bastards. Here’s what they get for punishment: we take everything away from them, everything … except they get one 2,000 sq ft house without one stick of furniture, one suit of clothes and one used Honda Civic and their resume. Then they figure out how to make it in the world. Everything else that they own goes to the government to pay for the freaking bailout they caused.
Prison is entirely too easy for those greedy pigs … they get three square meals, and a bed and they don’t need to do anything to earn it. We’re still paying for them and they keep their ill-gotten gains. We (the people) need to get our hands on their money and goods, then they can figure out what it’s like to try to pay for health care and commute and live like normal people.

Will, I’m not gonna argue with you on this one. It’s a bonehead move. Did we learn nothing from Enron?
