What is the difference when we bail out banks compared to irresponsible would be homeowners who got in over their heads?

People need to take responsibility for their actions, even if the consequences are painful. I'm glad that the president is finally doing something fiscally responsible and vetoing the bill. It'd be even nicer if the pansy ass GOP would stand up for what they're supposed to stand up for. If the Dems get the white house though there will be even more irresponsible spending. :( Ug. I'm so sick of all the politicians. They're all spending spending spending. As if it's their money. Grrr! I pay a mortgage too and think it’s ridiculous to bail out the housing market.

I especially appreciate the point about their being such great homeowner tax breaks when renting serves the same purpose. I did not realize 32% of the population was renters--why are we getting screwed out of benefits (unless we are extremely low income). Good post.
