I'm against any bailout plan for the financial sector. That is, unless it includes a provision to pay off the remainder of my mortgage, which I've been paying off on time and over the monthly requirement now for over four years.
It's not my fault a lot of people are idiots and the financial sector tried to capitalize on that through equally idiotic loans.
My lawn. Get off it.

We're not part of the rescue because we've been rescuing ourselves. And the reward for keeping on top of it? A great big pile of nothing.
Of course, now would be a fantastic time to buy real estate if you have some extra cash. We're close to the bottom out here and I'd expect any investment to go up rapidly over the next couple of years.
