OK - so there's a deal for a $700 Billion Bailout.
It seems as though my status has changed from "Taxpayer" to "Investor".
As such, can the new "class" of Investors file a class action lawsuit to burrow down to the root cause of my bad investment - the PEOPLE who actually caused it, and make them financially and legally responsible for their actions or inactions??
I ask because the classic protection from legal action/responsibility has traditionally been you cannot sue the Government. But since the Government is now a Business, that protection would seem to be moot.
Just asking.
