First of all, I dont think there is any cost to anyone unless the firms involved go into default....fact is, the Government MADE MONEY in the S&L bailout.

Having said that..your comment "Just print some more money I guess" could very well happen as the rest of the world begin to recognize our debt. I have NO confidence in congress to do anything substantial until well after the election.

Again, and I HOPE I am correct..think I am....no cost to us as long as these firms do not default !
