Our government has committed $12,200 Billion in bailouts, guarantees, and backstops to the very same people who created this economic mess. Most of this money has not found its way to Main Street but instead has lined the pockets of the Wall Street types. Part of this was the $700 Billion TARP program. This video explains how instead of TARP, we could have used this money to LEVERAGE productive endeavors on Main Street that would have both employed our people and helped to reduce the federal deficits.
"I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.

This plan still shackles the public to debt. Debt is effectively a form of slavery.
