What Does $700 Billion Dollars Mean to You?

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?
