They should just let the market forces move and reach the equilibrium. From Wall Street to Main Street, the greedy are punished.
In essence, any rescue plan taxes the hardworking prudent ordinary folks to bail out the ones who greedily ate during the good times. Let's not punish the innocents for others' greed. The failure of the plan was due to the loud and widespread opposition from these folks.
Bro pia, I think the 700 billion will not work. Because it will feed the greedy ones again.
I put it simply.
A cup is actually worth $0.50. But in their greed for loans and interest, the Wall Street assholes valued it at $20, and extended loans for $20 worth. Now the borrower cannot pay liao, they get the cup. The bailout if approved, will need the US gahmen to negotiate with the Wall Street assholes to buy the cup. With the recession, the cup is now worth only $0.20. But you think the Wall Street assholes will price it at $0.20? Or even $0.50? No. They will tell the gahmen, it's worth $50.
The negotiations will take weeks, or months. Then the gahmen will be forced to buy at $25. The taxpayer will ganna screw, again. The economy will be overpriced, again.
So, should let the assholes fail. No need to bailout. Otherwise, we are just creating another meltdown in 3-5 years.
