Who is winning - people who could not afford the homes they bought, the cars and flat panels they bought with home equity loans and are now being bailed out. Who is losing - any one who saved and invested in risky assets - the destruction of wealth has been unprecedented and complete. all lenders, really. how is this socialism for the rich?
