Cam is singing my song.

How about the brokers who peddled the no-doc loans? That's a clear case of well-documented fraud. Seize their assets and put their entire estate toward the $700 billion bailout. They racked up a lot of money by perpetrating this fraud, and they should the first ones to start paying the damages caused by it.
