What, you were prudish enough to buy a home you could afford when poorer
people were buying nicer houses they couldn't? No bailout for you! Now
you get to pay your own mortgage *and* help out the more "ambitious
consumers" amongst us sustain their lifestyle.

Not too mention bailing out the companies that made those bad loans.

You dont need a bailout if you buy what you can afford.

Contact your congressperson and state your views. He or she is in a
position to affect this bailout. And congress does pay attention to
the phone calls and emails they get.
Also, one wonders about the future penalty for having a lot of 401k
and IRA money. No Social Security dollars for you greedy,
materialistic, conniving folks.... !! : (

I've been waiting for that myself. However, since they take so much out in
taxes (self-employed), I have a very hard time making even a $1,000/year
contribution to my Roth, so I guess it's unlikely that I'll fall into the
"rich" group. Then again, they keep upping the age for SS, so maybe I'll
never have to retire if I work myself to death first.
