What steams me is the government could have helped in rescuing Lehman Brothers. They could have helped facilitate a buyout between Lehman and Barclays. The government, however, forced Lehman to file for bankruptcy and had Barclays purchase them after the fact. They did not want to help facilitate the deal because they did not want to spend anymore money rescuing banks. Now what happens? The government proposes a $700 billion bailout. What is with these idiots? I honestly think Greenspan, Paulson and Bernanke are the reincarnation of Moe, Larry and Curly.
