Somewhere between the 4th and 5th option here. Provide some minimal "backstops" in the event a corporate failure will have too many downstream negatives (see AIG). Otherwise;Jack Kirkpatrick: Shanna, they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let ’em crash. |

I answered the poll question despite the fact that I am no more qualified to do so than my Shetland Sheepdog. Sigh... I consider myself a bright and well-informed fellow, but this situation is totally beyond my ken. I believe strongly that Congress bears the greatest share of the BLAME (not that they’ll pay any penalties), but knowing "who did it" is less important right now than figuring out what to do about it. |

If FM2 and the Investment Banks were parted out, I’d give two different answers.
FM2 needs to be destroyed and the social engineering program ended. And FM2 merits possible criminal investigation (if the laws that should have been in place were in place which I doubt). I wouldn’t say that falls under letting the market settle it out.
AIG, BS, MS, etc should have just gone down and their investors, shareholders can sue the top execs. |

Tito,
Seems logical to me. Why take a shotgun approach and bail out banks and companies wholesale? Why not simply make it clear that the feds will float emergency LOANS to help companies get past the crisis, restructure, and try to get back into business? |

"I like this plan"
What?! No Bonuses???!!! Are you mad??? Left-wing commie pinko socia**ist anti free market idiotic bilge!!
If they are in such bad shape, why not just declare bankruptcy? Isn’t that why Chapter 11 was written? They can continue in business but a trustee from outside runs the company. Oh, I just answered my own question. Bailouts are much better. |

An appropriate comment by George Will;
"Everything that has been done for the past six months has been done to cope with what previous actions were supposed to prevent. A perhaps pertinent axiom: There is no education in the second kick of a mule."

Can’t we have an anti-government plan where we remove the regulations that are creating this illiquidity by preventing funds from holding the mortgages and forcing them to try to sell them as soon as they are rated down? |
