Mortgage bailout nears final passage

Another exasperating move by a government out of control! What ever happened to Free Will and living with the consequences? These HOMEOWNERS CHOSE to commit to loans they COULDN'T AFFORD. These BANKS CHOSE to loan money to people they knew COULDN'T AFFORD them. The consequences of their choices have put them into financial ruin. Now this group of buffoons in both houses of congress and in both parties tell everyone that it's nobody's fault, while millions of taxpayers, who lived within the bounds of common sense and bought houses they could pay for, are footing the bill for both sets of idiots and adding billions of dollars to a National Debt that we can't possibly pay off. Where are the screams of 'Too Bad' - live with the decisions you made! I say triple the tax rate on every single one of the idiots who made these loans and received obscene bonuses as a result - from loan officer to corporate executive, and double the tax rate for homeowners who accept the government bailout. Keep these tax rates in effect until all the bailout money is paid back with interest. WHERE IN THE WORLD IS COMMON SENSE?
