A Congress is working to give the banks more money. Why not let a
couple
of the big ones, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc. simply die a
peaceful

Two things we must keep in mind:

1) The initial TARP money was to save or stabilize as many banks and
affected businesses as possible. Period. Main Street was not
invited.

2) Neither Congress or the Bush administration planned, insisted
upon, or approved transparent bailouts.

$350 billion unaccounted for dollars LATER, we'll see that this was
the first BIG SCANDAL of the Great Bush Depression.
