I said reasonable. I was a mortgage lender/broker in California years ago and I foresaw the bursting of the mortgage bubble -- to me it was obvious and those involved should have been subject to controlled liquidation.

I would much rather had seen a WPA like project funding or infrastructure improvements like the TVA of the Great Depression era -- there would be both short term constructive work for the unemployed and long term benefits to the nation.

If we are truly a capitalistic society those capitalists that fail get eaten ...
