If pro is the opposite of con, then is progress the opposite of congress? This should have been foreseen I agree. I also agree that the government gives too many hand outs to able bodied people that should be able to take care of themselves. As much as I hate to say this, Bush made a valid statement. It wasn't just one group of companies. It was many companies. There is a point where when you expand to much to quick it breaks. That's exactly what happened. The market grew to a point where it was out of control and now it's broken. I did notice that the president didn't say exactly what the plan was besides bailing out a few major companies.
