If one bank fails another will take it's place, if one business fails the competition will enjoy new customers. Suffer the pain now. Do not drag it out. The only thing this government loan to private business will do is prolong the inevitable. And will saddle future generations with a huge debt. Let free market adjust itself. If Walmart went belly up tomorrow people will still buy. It is sloppy business practice that has done this. Let AIG fend for themselves. Better yet run them out on a rail, competition will swallow them up.Walmart (and its ilk) going belly up is probably the BEST thing that could happen for our economy. De-centralize the corporate monopolies on small business, get the money back into the hands of the people. It would work wonders for us all.
I'm sort of lucky to be in a niche which, if anything, probably does even better in a bear economy. People are far more likely to have their computer 'fixed' in these times, than buy a new one. Of course, I also sell computers, but that's really a very small part of my income.
