Why bail out banks at all? Pay the $250K account guarantee and let the

because we TRIED that in 1929. didnt work out at all

those of us who know history know your view is a DISASTER

No, 1929 they tried the debt-spend

really? proof? because that's what they DIDNT do. what they DID do is
what YOU suggest:

let the banks fail. that's WHY there was a bank crisis in 29; they let
the banks fail. just like you suggest

how'd that work out??

and it failed in 1932 where it
collapsed with inflation from the debt spend. Broke, and taxing, the
economy didn't really recover for almost a decade. Not much unlike now
being early 1932.

yep it recovered

in 1940....and what was happening in 1940?

massive govt spending...in preparation for a little event that would
start, for the US, on dec 7 1941.
