Agreed but the government signed on as a guarantor.

Folks can't walk away. It's their government.

I have NO sympathy for big banks/financial interests.

I know that they will hurt me every chance they can get.

Kerry just started this with "no one knows" (I did) and the people are fighting back. sheez, the people voted for the guys and let them do what they wanted. They only started to belly-ache when it didn't work out well.

Childish behavior on the electorate; but secular humanism has 'I'm a victim' as one of its central tenets.

It would be as if people decided they did not want to pay the ## trillions we owe the Chinese and said, "it was those guys in Washington, we don't have to pay it."

Well, the electorate put them there and now they get to pay the bill.
