I am not arguing the fact that the bailout be necessary to keep the US economy afloat (that problem is so diverse and way over my head), but I am arguing and agree with Ron Paul that government intrusion created this mess.

Right or wrong, saving the economy or not. I would still contend that this is an act of communism.
I had no idea how bonds were traded.
