Should the US government do anything about the financial crisis?

The Soviet economic model sucked, but if we bail out crooks, then so does ours. What has been done is treason and should be treated as such.
I didn't cheer when the planes hit the towers, but I didn't give a shit either. The dead were stock brokers and those who tried to save them. In the US public stock brokering isn't exactly an honest occupation. They make money trading on inside info (legally).

Yes of course the Soviet model is better than the US, which is why Cuba and North Korea are doing so well. S)

That's just a dramatic representation. Television always fucks things up.
Also, more on topic. Now that I understand the situation a lot better, I see that we have ourselves a dilemma. I don't think that the bail-outs would be a very good use of tax money. Besides, the economy will recover. We are at a low point in the economy. It will rise up (hopefully) within a few years or so.
Calum:
it's a shame the UK government doesn't read this list.
