To save the Sheep you have to slaughter a few Pigs and kill all the Coyotoes

Seized with fear and drunk with hope pretty much describes Wall Street these days. The Money Men believed they were smarter than the rest of us, lulling us all into believing the music would never stop. For years they bet big with other peoples money and when they won they were rewarded with huge bonuses but when they lost they just moved on to the next sucker before the music could stop. Now they can't seem to hear the music and all the suckers have exited the dance so their solution is to dump all their problems on the American tax payer because they know the tax payer owns the dance hall. Ownership of the dance hall is not in question but letting someone with two left feet stay in dance hall is in question.
All this is nothing new. In the mid 70's New York City failed and was rescued by the administration of Gerald Ford. Next it was the failure of Washington DC at the hands of the city's corrupt Mayor Marion Berry and once again the government opened up the cashier's window. In the Reagan era it was Chrysler and the American banks who had lent billions to South American regimes who could not repay their loans. Lets not forget the Asian financial crises and the International Monitory Fund bailouts of the mid 90's. The reality is that every time there was a bailout the American Tax payer took it in the ass, causing the median income to fall because of lost jobs and lower wages. Once again the government is holding a gun to our head as we dance as fast as we can. I for one am not totally against a bailout of some kind because I know that when a gun is used in a responsible manner the outcome is usually pretty good. The solution to today's Wall Street crisis is to slaughter a few pigs because pigs will just make another mess, that's what pigs do and to kill all the coyotes before they eat all us sheep. The government has he right approach with their gun theory it just needs to learn how to aim the gun at the right target.
