Dean Baker: The Banks Have Stolen Enough; It's Time to Take Them Over

Dean Baker: The Banks Have Stolen Enough; It's Time to Take Them Over: "Hold onto your wallets. The bankers are coming bank for more money. They burned through the $350 billion that we gave them in the first round of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and they are worried that even the second $350 billion will not be enough money to keep them solvent. The selective leaks from Treasury tell us that the banks will need far more money to cover their bad debts."
