Brad,
 I have a lot of land and a lake (still with some water/today) and  very 
talented wife that loves to can and garden. We could become very self  sufficient 
if need be. My losses in real estate value and stock market value  will bottom 
out, but I don't have to sell anything. I can still afford to pay my  bills 
and ride this out. Right now I'm mad as hell and I'm not in a frame of  mind to 
bail people out because of bad business practices and decisions.  Recession 
or depression, I don't care. Bring it on. We all seem to need a new  lesson 
every 90 years or so.

Rummy,

I feel your pain!  Now who are you going to get the  money from?
Franklin Delano Raines, Obama's buddy, did have to pony up some  cash
after he left Fannie Mae and perhaps we'll collect some from  some
other Wall Street types.  But you're concentrating on "cutting  off
your nose to spite your face".  You are the first turd headed down  the
shitter (your description, not mine).  If the wheels fall off  the
economy, how much money do you think will be spent on roofing?   We
have a gunshot victim lying on the floor and right now we need  to
offer medical assistance.  We can argue about how many years  to
sentence the shooter later.
