BeenThere,
I assume you've heard the term "healthy skepticism". I submit that we've entered the realm of "unhealthy skepticism" -- and we did it long before we entered this current crisis. I humbly suggest you take a good, hard look at how we got there.
Who do you trust ? You have to trust someone. Take it from me -- an ex-controller -- trust is a very precious thing. I think pilots might know a thing or two about it too.

Throw me a bone, like cutting welfare entitlement to four years over lifetime, or punishing fines on employers knowingly employing illegal aliens to help pay for this problem along with me. Share the pain.

I've been trying to write a blog on the subject for a couple of days but it is proving rather difficult. But let me see if I can sum it up.
Take a look at who has benefited from this crooked system -- at least until the last few months. Take a look at the hedge fund manager (and those that hired him), the welfare recipient and the illegal alien.
Cui bono ? Who benefited ? Who is now asking that the American taxpayer bail them out ? Futhermore, you might consider asking a few of the people on this board that don't live in the States the same questions.
For me, I want my money back. The welfare recipient and the illegal alien don't have it. I'd help bail Wall Street out to save the economy. But I want my money back. And I want the rules in place that will keep it from happening again.
