And I do agree the bailout part is a bit much, although the tax adjustment seems like it might be reasonable. How can you pay taxes on profits that never existed?

thats the problem with this country, good intentions are crap if the person is an incompetant fool. when one is conned its partly their own fault (greed). i invest and i learned diversification in eco 101. are you telling me mr. shapiro is uneducated too? plus this whole society of "the person meant to do the right thing but made mistakes" bullsh^t is what got the whole country in the mess we are in!!!!! SEE 8 years of george bush and the current banking debacle!!! when they sold these synthetic tracks they saw this moron coming and going. bad judgment is BAD, no matter how kind you THINK you are. heres a new word for these folks and people that think like you, its called:ACCOUNTABILITY!!!! WHEN TRACKS THAT WERE SOLD ON SAFETY ARE CALLED GARBAGE AND MINEFIELDS BY THE TRAINERS, IT SHOULD BE CRIMINAL. especially after the surface has been changed numerous times and millions have been lost in revenue and costs.
