    Is the fed just going to be throwing money at anything to bailout every bank in trouble. I mean the federal reserve and government should have taken steps 5 years ago when these big institutions started developing these instruments to fuel the housing run around the country, now its up to the taxpayers money to help out the entire banking industry. You can blame GREED once again for the biggest credit crisis in history.
