have lost a great deal of money? This came straight from the mouth of Bernanke, the person who said we had to bail out his friends.

This, btw, is not over. We have taken on huge debt, kicked over 5 million people out of their homes, watched millions of people be added to the food stamp rolls, given people like Mi$4 RobMe some of the best years they have ever had, paid hundreds of millions in bonuses to bankers while they throw McDonalds applications down on marchers and pay police to beat and terrorize them, and as of last month we still have 26 million people saying they need jobs while we only have about 3.4 million job openings...
