Why should the citizens have to pay the price to bail these guys out? Its hard enough to make ends meet nowadays with the general cost of living going up at any given moment. It will end up costing the citizens/taxpayers up to 2300 dollars apiece, and maybe more, to fund this bailout. This total was figured using the current estimated US population of 305,253,000 people. They typical family of 4 will wind up paying in close to 10 grand. In the grand scheme of things, 10 grand is close to half of what the average middle-class family pays for housing costs annually. Do they even think that added economic burden on the taxpayers will fix the situation? It may benefit the execs in the industry, but that is about it. Actually, it is kind of ironic that the cost of the Iraq war, up until this date, is close to 700 billion dollars. I couldn’t agree with you more, Nate.
