"Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd and Chuck Schumer ought to be in JAIL!"

Sorry, there is NO, NO, NO accountability in the US Congress.

More likely, they will be given the positions to run the funds and reap the rewards again.

The largest 300 pension funds collectively hold about $6 trillion in assets.[1] In January 2008, The Economist reported that Morgan Stanley estimates that pension funds world-wide hold over US$20 trillion in assets.

If the "bail out" proponents say the U.S. taxpayers will make money on the $700 billion why not have professional investors pony up? .. and of course it's to save the world not just us.

The 700 billion is what? 3.5% of the $20 trillion?
