Those jackases can't even concoct a balanced budget for the country, and they want to regulate major corporations, perhaps on mass scale?

And speaking of chunks...

This guy can't figure out how to manage his own taxes, but he can manage multi-billion dollar corporations.

I hope that people look into this. The congress nor the president have the power to grant the Cheat or anyone else, the power he is asking for. It would be in direct violation of the constitution. This however does not bother osama or the liberal congress. Nor has it detoured the past congress. They don't know the constitution and don't even make attempts to follow it. They are out of control and we better get it back soon or it will be lost forever.

And now the gooberment is asking private investors, who are they?, to step up and buy all these "toxic assets", BUT who the heck wants to buy them and have hopes of actually turning them into a profit, if the gooberment is going to turn right around and penalize them for being successful and making money?

Plus the privet purchases will be guaranteed by the government so if the do fail, it will all come back to the tax payer. It may turn out to be the biggest bail out of all. This is the same basic plan that Paulsen proposed under the Bush administration.
