America's Ultimate Collapse
By Paul Craig Roberts
It's dishonest when the Federal Reserve pretends that it's working on a solution. The banks should have been allowed to fail. It would not have been very costly. The FDIC would have saved the deposits. The amount of money they needed to print to save the deposits was miniscule compared to what they've spent trying to save the banks -- and to the damage they've done to the dollar, and the economy.
