If the trillions in derivatives that are still floating around out there implode, you can bet the banks will be begging for a bailout. You can also pretty much assume that if they get one, there will be bloodshed in the streets. A lot of people are fed up with the lack of accountability in both Washington and Wall Street, and aren't going to tolerate another bailout while screaming "austerity for everyone but us!"
