Someone has asked, "Why didn't the gov't just pay off all delinquent mortgages?" This is really not such a foolish question. The bailout total may be approaching the amount necessary for paying off all delinquent mortgages–or it may get there fairly soon.

Translated, this means that, as a result of things dropping in price and gambles on securities and derivatives, banks have lost or are about to lose a lot of money and the taxpayer is going to absorb their losses.

The very last thing that you should do is give someone who is addicted to gambling more money.

The last thing that the population needs is more loans. Too much of its income is going towards paying interest already. When interest is paid, it goes directly to the banks and does not generate commerce in the economy.

This also will not stop the foreclosures or the loss of jobs, which are the only things that the government should be concerned about.
