32. The biggest issue is at least closing the barn door before another horse
gets out. We're already potentially on the hook for many trillions and have taken trillions more in economic damage and crisis response and really can't handle another crash. There may as well be an invading army and a naval blockade for all the risk of economic security we have right now. Responsible leadership cannot just hide and ignore something of this magnitude.

The systemic financial issues just won't wait for any taking of breaths or incrementalisim, we've got to end to big to fail and "heads I win, tails the taxpayer loses" like the day before yesterday and if the political will isn't there then the President is responsible for laying out the situation and the constant risk of another meltdown the rally the people to pressure Congress and name names of those who are being obstacles to national security.
