How's that for a novel idea? Instead of bailing out the thieves, you throw them in jail and bail out the people who had trusted those thieving bankers. This makes so much sense that one has to question why it wasn't done in this country. Could it be that the Wall Street banks and giant corporations own the politicians that run our government -- and too many people are either so stupid or such sheep that they won't do anything about it? I think that's a question that needs answering.
It should be pointed out that before that happened the people threw out the existing government. The new government was then free to repudiate the actions of the previous government. That is an important step in the process. Trying to do it without that step doesn't work, because the government is then trying to repudiate its own actions.
