Should we be letting the bailout be run by the people who caused it?

Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 01:51 PM by rocknation

I'm glad the vote failed because it didn't sound as though the taxpayers would get any kind of return on their $700B investment (Michael Moore's screed notwithstanding). But here's what I've been wondering: Who's going to be in charge of cleaning up this mess--the exact same people who caused it? Shouldn't there be some new people brought in? I mean, if the bankers are insisting on holding on to their eight-figure salaries and golden parachutes, maybe people can be brought in who are qualified but will work for a lot less money. That would stimulate the economy right there!

1. That's how I feel about it.

Oh, and I also want to hang Paulson next to Chertoff, but I've been feeling that way about a lot of people lately.
