What needs to be taken away is the executive's ability to issue themselves stock options for pennies and then exercise the options and take home a hundred million dollar payday every 3 to 6 months. That is the real SCAM!!! I still do not understand all the hype about taking away executive pay packages.

This Crisis has been ENGINEERED -- just like 1929 Stock Market Crash, and all the others before and since. Follow the money.: Rothschilds, Morgans, Warburgs, etc. The Multinational Banksters are (trying to) rake in their chips. This crisis started in 1913, if not before, when we got the FEDERAL RESERVE BANKSTERS; and shortly after: the IRS. Who ULTIMATELY owns the mortgages - of the homes where the folks are being forced onto the streets? Don't panic; ask your neighbor for some food, some shelter, some love -- OR Give some. The folks at the top have to fall, but in the mean time, the system they have created must bite the dust. God still loves us. Forgive the bastards, but let 'em FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think there should be an investigation and/or tribunals set up in order to get to the bottom of this mess. They must be held accountable, so that we never have a repeat of this situation." I agree but if Fuld and all these other CEO's are walking away from this burning wreck unscathed, it might imply that they may have served superior purposes.... Response to RL:

This is our money, the taxpayers, the government is not a whole seperate entity onto itself. We the people are the the government and the citizenry, our elected officials are supposed to act in our ( the people ) best interests. Just as much as these greedy CEO's, these politicions that are tied to the hip of the large corporations must be held accountable.Can we the people expect to receive a check every month including interest from these banks and insurance companies, will we receive a copy of a loan agreement for this money, will we hold lein rights to the properties that these banks and insurance companies own to secure our loan to them. We all know the answers to these questions, this too after time will be swept under the rug and we the people will be left with the tab.

Most enlightening. I didn't realize the scope of the problem; that these companies would cover themselves with naked insurance deals that were called something other than insurance so as to avoid being regulated. That's criminal. I hope Americans pass the link to this clip from '60 Minutes' onto their representatives. I hope these CEOS end up going to jail. Regretfully, the damage is already done. How many years will it take to recover? fw Thanks George. Most enlightening.

What we seen was reward the CEO's, they should be inside the cage and throw the key way. No justice what so ever. This bail out was only to help Bush’s friends,the ones that use him as puppet
