If they're near bankruptcy it's a systemic issue. It's not some guy looking for his wallet which he was sure was in his suit just before the maid took it to the cleaners. The money they lack isn't weeks away from suddenly materializing. It has to grow back naturally or else it's worthless.

Again, we were told this was to prop-up consumer confidence in banks so as to preserve the credit markets. Who in their right mind feels confident in these yahoos?
