This will be the start.Wait until in a decade's time you find out that the 700 billion dollars or whatever amount it is has actually removed other liabilities from these Companies Books. The end result will be that these executives can put their face back in the trough and claim massive bonuses whilst a number of politicians from both sides will be given massive kickbacks.To the US people, punish the ones responsible, your representatives.They are all running around blaming everyone but themselves.John McCain has been in the system forever and a day and now he decides he wants to fix it? Obama is a greenhorn who will manipulated by the bureaucrats and lobbyists.Vote for an independent and let the parties know your disgust at what happened.If not, then things will keep going on and before you know it the same thing will happen again in another decade and you will be 10 years older and closer to retirement. Good luck for the future.
