<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 793679, member: 3011&quot;]I would just add a few points:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The difference between coaches and athletes and bankers is that the coaches and athletes don&#039;t ask for public funding when they lose a game.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The &quot;profit&quot; earned from AIG masks the fact that transaction just reinforced the moral hazard for irresponsibility.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. I completely agree that the wars need to end immediately.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; Using your dam analogy, in our case the funding would not go to repairing the dam.&nbsp; It would go to reimbursing the financial institutions who lost money on their &quot;dam soundness swaps.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>5.&nbsp; We are supposed to be a constitutional republic, not a democracy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the reply.:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
