Should we use taxpayer dollars to repay defrauded Enron, Madoff, FTX, etc.


investors whole too? How about only those that borrowed money to invest on margin?

While I agree completely about where we have to turn for serious efforts on fixing out debt problems, we also need to start having honest discussions about what the role of Govt, that we're willing to actually pay for, should be. Just dismissing those discussions because "it's only a rounding error (of Billions)" is nothing but a lazy copout. And a big part of why we are where we are.
