A neat little plan don't you think.

Until the banks' derivatives and other toxic waste explode all over the Federal balance sheets.

This is already happening. Look at the Fed’s reports on the various programs. They’re already taking losses in the 10’s of billions on “collateral” paper they’ve taken on some of these swap programs.

This plan is for the shareholders to take the hit.

The Obama/Geithner plan is to have the taxpayers take the hit.
