The folks that I have talked to "on the street" all say that they would rather suffer a depression than bail out the investment banks.

They don't understand what the real problem is

That's because no one is talking about the structural problems in the investment world, and what structural changes have to start taking place. All they are hearing is "no loans available, fix that with Dr. Paulson's potion today!!"

But if we have only a big, nasty looking mole, there's time to check it out and get a second opinion.
