JES,
You MUST get out there and find some bargains in this mess. Buy low. Sell high. Cash in. Pay off your portion of the $700B bailout.
Then you can start to work on the other hundreds of billions you taxpayers owe due to the socialization of the banking industry.
Don't worry if you cannot resolve it all yourself. Your children and grandchildren will be able to contribute their unfair share.
Mission accomplished!
Cheers,
Bluenoser
