Mr. Frank is a joke. He and his socialist policies are the cause of the trouble we are in. The politicians have called for the head of GM to resign because they are failing, but what about all the Governors going to WASHINGTON for help. Shouldn''t they resign also?
Frank and Dodd helped Fannie and Freddie fail. Shouldn''t they resign?
There are ways to help individuals if the companies go into reorganization, no one will starve. The unions asked for stupid things, and the companies gave it to them. They deserve to fail. Capitalism 101.

So far all this "bailout" is about are the Wall Street Bankers! I don''t see you whining about the 91 Bn the Fed is handing out (virtually without oversight) each week. You are a perfect example of how America got into this mess. It''s like George Bush once said: "You can fool all the people some of the time - AND THOSE ARE THE ONES I''M GOING COUNT ON!!" The truth is - SHAME ON YOU!

If Barney want to help the workers, then maybe HE should employ them and not meddle on the business of comapanies he knows absolutely nothing about. All this bailout has nothing to do with workers. It is all about the unions. Shame on him
