Because to, that much money is almost inconceivable. What's more inconceivable is the fact that our government seems so excited to just go hand it over to greedy, corrupt businesses in some sort of panicky, fearful buy-up of utterly worthless mortgages.
Any plan to make the mortgages less worthless, anybody? Perhaps a plan to allow the borrowers of said mortgages to actually pay them back within their means? I mean, wouldn't that solve this whole kerfuffle? If the lenders could get their money, and the borrowers could keep their homes, then everyone would be happy.
Oh yeah, and the tax payers. They could keep their money. Perhaps the only ones who should lose anything in this whole mess are the greedy criminals responsible. They should lose their jobs.
One finds themselves agreeing with the oddest assortment of people on this issue...
...and fortunately, glancing at CNN it does look like members of both parties are starting to ask questions. That's something, isn't it?

I saw some asshole on Meet the Press this weekend say that now is “not the time” to go after CEOs who tanked their companies with their shitty business practices, took a huge severance, and then left the American people with the bill.
Well I want to know, when is a bloody better time to round those people up? This whole mess gets the old socialist in me burning again…the simple fact that no one is likely to go to jail for any of this is just incredible.
Roland, I couldn't have said it better. As McCain might say "We are all socialists now."
Time to take the thugs who got us here and hold them accountable!
