What's the difference? Robbing investors via regulations is no different, in principle, than robbing taxpayers via bailout. Fascist on the one hand vs. Communism on the other hand - sounds to me like someone is getting a boot-heel to the face. Hasn't anybody heard of National Socialism? There is a reason why the average status-quo Republican in power can't be distinguished from the average status-quo Democrat in power - there isn't a difference. http://whoismittromney.name/ Fascism-shmacism.

Also, there is a double-standard. What about all the people that bought houses they could actually afford, but got a variable interest rate, which is resetting. They are left to pay higher rates, but the people who really extended themselves beyond what they should have, are getting a break. Kind of messed up if you think about it. Indeed.

Though I think this calls into question a larger "personal responsibility" issue. At some point, the population, in general, is going to have to "own up" to our own choices and not look to the government to solve our problems. Our society is in trouble if there are no consequences to making bad decisions (i.e. a "gimmick" mortgage in order to finance a house 2x what you could normally afford).
