If we don't bail out, the markets tank. If we bail-out, our savings will be worth much less as the dollar tanks and we're on the hook for the printed debt. Bring on the correction.

"Stocks Markets Fall" While not technically incorrect considering the multiple indices mentioned, I somehow doubt this what Jen "My Left Thumb" Chung intended.

Even as the market crashes, some prosper. All is well in the kitchen cabinets industry. Steve http://www.kitchenspro.com

We have not even started to see the depth of this crisis. It's gonna cost taxpayer much more than $700 billion to bail us out of the mess that banks and their web of trouble have gotten us into. This will take years and your (or your parents') retirement funds will continue to dwindle, as will home values in all but a few areas. It will become nearly impossible to borrow money. Layoffs will be widespread. We're in big, big trouble.
