I'm...not sure where you're going here other than possibly using my comment as a springboard for your soapbox, but since you asked; I never implied in any way I feel that just the little guy has a moral obligation.  I think GM and your "slick Stanford or Harvard MBA" toting strawman should have to pay their debts too.  &#60;shrug&#62;  Now if doing that would cause even greater grief, say to the hundreds (of thousands?) of employees who'd lose their jobs?  It's a tough call, and one I'm glad I'm not making.<p>The correct response to elected officials not doing what you want is to vote someone in who will.
