"Hell, no! Both the lenders and the borrowers are adults. Let them reap what they have sown."
-- Mike B.
"I'm all for a government bail out...as long as the government bails me out of the $5,000 I lost in Vegas, my student loan payments and the alimony I've been ordered to pay to my lovely ex-wife!"
-- Andy F., New York
"Definitely no bail out. The companies that make these loans should be horsewhipped and run out of business. The public companies that assume these loans should fire all the executives from the CEO down to the intermediate manager. No one should be able to buy a house unless they can put ten percent down."
-- Rich G.
"The only people who make the big bucks are the executives of these lending companies who probably have absconded with all the funds they did not deserve. Why reward them further by bailing the companies out? No money down, interest only? No doc loans? Why are there no standards/laws regarding predatory lending? Let the high risk investors live with their dieing investments in their support of these companies. Why is the public required to bail out private citizens?"
-- Jerry, Florida
"No! They reap the rewards when things are good, then turn to the government for a bail-out."
-- Bill H., New Jersey
"No, do not bail them out. They would not share their profits if business went good! We should not bail them out with our tax money. Bad business decisions mean bad results."
-- Corey D., Maryland
"I do not think the government should bail them out. I think the firms, their top executives and the borrowers should be held accountable for the deals they made."
-- Steve L.
