I agree with you. They probably wouldn't have gotten the loans. And our economy right now might look like a picnic compared to what we'd be going through.
Thankfully, it was up to the president to decide. One relatively intellegent person complimented by a cadre of economic and financial professionals can make smarter, faster decisions than a room full of blithering idiots spouting their false presumptions, and groundless opinions.
Hopefully -- only the people who see and understand the importance of their survival will have enough drive to look up that phone number of their senators, and everyone else will sit at home and b***h at their TV. I can live with that.
