Where does the line end with companies expecting a bailout from the government? These certainly are strange times, and unfortunately I have a feeling we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg right now.DerekTue, 25 Nov 2008 23:31:21 -0000http://www.duncanriley.com/2008/11/25/bailouts/#comment-4003827We can spend a trillion saving a few hundred guys who make millions, but it is not acceptable to spend a fraction of that saving a million guys who make one one hundreth of Wall Street wages We can go into enormous debt to protect a few wildly speculative millionaires but an industry that actually makes things, that pays workers for their productivity, just doesn't rate. Some poor schlub who happens to be in a union member and wants a decent wage is unreasonable and greedy but the guy who packaged ARMs and sold absolute crap labled as gold, lets forgive him and make sure he can keep that Ferrarri.BoiarskiTue, 25 Nov 2008 08:13:50 -0000http://www.duncanriley.com/2008/11/25/bailouts/#comment-4002141As they have said earlier Citibank is too big to be allowed to fail.

Imagine if the government put money into internet startups instead.MikeTue, 25 Nov 2008 02:41:54 -0000
