Should we nationalize them?
Should we slap huge taxes on the bonuses they are awarding to their CEOs?
Should we break them up?
Should we cut off the taxpayer $ gravy train?
Just wondering.
If you could do what you want to the big banks, what would you do?

Who is the "we"?
We the people?
We the federal government?
We the shareholders of the companies?
Just who is this "we" that is supposed to take action and under what authority?

Sorry I wasn't clear.
What would you like the government to do about the banks?
Should the government tax their bonuses?
Should Congress put an end to future bailouts?
Should Congress break up the big banks?
Nothing they are private organizations. If they start going after them they better be prepared to go after Hollywood and athletes. This dumb populist posturing is going no where.
The government shouldn't be bailing out banks, auto companies, unions or anything else.
We should demand a full bipartisan investigation as to what caused their demise, where all the tarp money went, how it was distributed, and how it was spent. We have yet to learn any of this in any detail.
I would like to require these big banks to hold more liquid capital if they are going to partake in very risky behaviors. That way, when their risks don't pan out, they can bail themselves out.
But in order to really understand what we should do, we need to know exactly what happened to prevent it from reoccurring.

They're not private organizations, they are public organizations.
I'd like to see banks no longer beholden to ACORN/mandates/political correctness and no longer be forced to issue sub-prime loans to people who are not reliable/dependable/cannot afford to repay them. D'oh!
And for the matter of transparency, I'd like freddie mac and fannie mae to stop reselling these craptastic loans on the global financial markets as anything but sub-prime.

No one wants to buy Fannie and Freddie's garbage, that's why the gov't had to buy it. Offering their toxic products to the markets would assuredly mean their end. I'm all for it. Are you?
