[citation][nom]NuclearShadow[/nom]Glad to see my tax dollars will go to protecting Wall Street. I sure wouldn't want that bailout money I and every other American gave them go to waste. Thanks DoD and Wall Street, if it wasn't for you taking our money we would have wasted it on things like improving our educational system, and not having to worry about social security. You know petty programs that actually help and make a respectable society.[/citation]
In all fairness, if Wall Street was to shut down or hit a roadblock, we wouldn't even be thinking about the problems in our educational system or social security. Just look at history. Great depression, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, etc. When a country has to file for bankruptcy, it effects everyone living in there. But, if the USA was to file for bankruptcy, the entire world's economy will take a huge hit and every sector around the globe will come screeching to a halt. We should be protecting Wall Street as much if not more since it's the brain and heart of our entire country's economic system.
