Let Them Fail

The only way some people will learn how worthless and flimsy the stuff of which their carefree lifestyle is made is to blow it away. Use the $700 billion (if there really is such a sum) for families in foreclosure, to give them a chance to keep their homes. Use it for a massive country-saving infrastructure investment, to rebuild bridges, railroads, and pride. Use it for something real, instead of for something that doesn't really exist: credit.

The credit culture is dead. It's time to get real. (Like I know anything about money. I just like disasters.)
