Nice bunch of lemmings Clark has here. While I don't agree with bail-out plans, I think the majority here are being extremely short-sighted. I don't see Clark spending any amount of time on just what would happen if market forces were allowed to let all those loans go to foreclosure. Each an everyone who managed to stay in their home, would see the value drop an enormous amount - spiraling even more homeowners into trouble. Yes, lenders were playing too fast and too loose with their own lending guidelines and those errors need to be corrected so that it never happens again. But, one has to look at the macro issue of mass foreclosures before simply saying a bail-out is bad. There are very serious ramifications if something is not done - but I don't expect anyone here to actually research that. Sad.

This week's poll
The high cost of jet fuel has a lot of people staying at home this summer instead of traveling. Is there a "staycation" in your immediate future?
Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
