Can you please write a clear “CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES EMANCIPATE US FROM THE BADBANKS PROCLAMATION” detailing the money that has gone, starting with AIG free givaway, and everything that is suspect and likely in the category of black hole spending by our government.

It would seem fair to give the entities that have US Gov money a 1-3 month limit on their borrowing, and if they couldn’t figure out how to pay back the money and stay in business, the company would be shut down, reorganized etc.

The money that has gone into the black hole scam, could have been used by the FDIC or the SIPC to help protect innocent people who have their life savings at stake…

By calling back the various backstops and givaway to AIG, spent and not moving forward with this MADNESS, our country’s chances of remaining solvent would increase because we could face the honest truth that certain parties infected our system, and the HONEST NON SELF DEALING WAY TO RESOLVE THIS INFECTION IS TO ” ALLOW THESE INFECTED INSTITUTIONS TO SHUT DOWN” and then let other entities run by people with scruples take over the job of banking for the country!

This is a black hole problem, and if it isn’t stopped, chances for any kind of prosperity for anyone but BADBANKERS (not all Bankers are bad!) becomes more and more remote.

Whether the Too Big to Fail orthodoxy is true or not, the very existence of any such structure is a clear and present danger to economic and social stability. We see how the effects are those of a protection racket.

No one must ever be allowed to hold society at gunpoint like this again.

Writing and/or calling your Congressworms — repeatedly — is more likely to be effective. (Or rather, just as likely, since the odds either way are zero.)

I especially like your point that a bank (or any non-government business) that is too big to fail is to big for a free market to function. Implicit in that is that the kings and queens of Wall Street and American business need to be dethroned.
