what is your point? are you suggesting that the government should be able to take that money for what ever reason? and since they are all banks and investment companies, you do realize that the money they have is primarily from their customers dont you?

Frankley, I'm surprised to see Goldman Sachs so far down on the list and surprised to see Freddie Mac so high considering the debt from toxic assests still on its books.

I don't see the point either. I eamn if a compoany where run like thsi coutnry they would be out of business long ago. No company can borrow what is now 43 2 cents of every dollar they spend. No cmpany would invested so much in people policy that invest their welth in programs that consume and bring no welth back in.Thsi country has becoe mroe and more a coutry that invest in consumption ;not ithsoe who actauly will birng in revenues in future. bascially we invest more and more i people who we know will not return anything in GDP.
