Govt. aid to help the miserable is all the same to me and it is needed in some circumstances.

Note - I readily agree that greed on many levels caused the mortgage crisis. I even think the Bush admin. has known about it since like 2002 (I certainly did) but chose to do nothing about it because without the housing boom, the US economy would have kept on tanking. I said that then and I say it now.
