Didn't you once say that it was individual people's faults for taking out mortgages they really couldn't afford? Have you changed your mind?

BTW - I'm ambivelant about these bailouts. Deep in my heart I think it's bull****, but then I hear about how if they were to go out of business we would have so many people without jobs that it would make the economy even worse. But then I wonder if it's just scare tactics - what they want us (and the gov't) to believe so we go for it.
