This is not capitalism. Capitalism let's bad business fail, not prop them up. Capitalism isn't TARP, it isn't any of the stimulus spending. This is purley government going wild. As an american people, we have given up our liberties for security, and nobody seems to mind...UNTIL someone puts it into perspective. And THEN, someone like Gerold goes right back and BLAMES CAPITALISM??? on the mess that we are in. Wake up America! PLEASE!!!
