I know the banks deserve some punishment but do we really want the global banking system to fail? With the talks of Wikileaks having dirt on BoA and the Dec 7th run, it seems like people want less to do with banks (obviously). However, what people don't seem to realize is that the entire economy runs on the backs of these major investment banks. I'm all for fines and jail time for people responsible of committing crimes but I would much rather have the banks exist than have the entire global economy come crashing down. Do people forget that one of the main reasons we are in a recession is because banks failed? Do we really want more banks to fail? Just my two cents worth.
