I think some of what these guys did was criminal and they should be prosecuted accordingly.

I think putting a large part of the housing market in America into the hands of the Federal Government is a mistake.

I think when President Bush was speaking the other night and he said that when the market went back up in the future and the property holdings were then sold off by the Government "every single dollar of tax money will be repaid" is a joke. Even if they make the money back they'll give it to some special interest group.

I think the fact that irresponsible people have defaulted on their loans shouldn't leave those that do meet their financial obligations holding the "bag of sh*t".
