While I agree with your sentiment. I'd also like to point out some of the biggest losers in the Madoff mess were not the rich, but Jewish charities, a few of which have had to close their doors.

If I want to donate to a charity, I will give them money. It is not the government's job to make them whole for bad investments with risky funds with my tax dollars. They are insured to $500K, that will have to do.

1000% agree. We can't pick and choose.
What if Rick Warren or Jerry Falwell's former charity lost everything and came begging for a bailout?
These were investments. Not companies that give people jobs.

Umm where did I say the Fed should bail them out?

I'm tired of giving money to anyone. We may all get a chance to forgo monetary exchange for goods and go back to a barter based economic system if things continue as they have been.

Is someone suggesting a "bailout" for Madoff investors or do you just object to SIPC insurance?
