So I do not think we as taxpayers should bail out the investment bankers that created this financial mess. Bankruptcies, fraud investigations and jail time should be the order of the day.

The boneheads who hid bad debt in complicated bonds, and the dupes who bought them need to suffer the consequences. The rest of us are going to suffer for it regardless, but coddling the perps is simply wrong.
