Why stall the inevitable? The system is going to fail. A fiat money system was one of the dumbest ideas these greedy assholes have ever thought up and the the stock market is just an extension of that. The taxpayers should never be required to bail these corrupt institutions out. It wouldn't have meant shit if AIG went under. People would just have had to buy insurance somewhere else no big deal. Personally I think what should happen is when one of these corrupt mortgage banks go under everyone that had a mortgage there should have there slate wiped clean. No company,No mortgage.
