There once was a trader so bright
Who scalped much faster than light.
She won large one day,
In a relative way,
For she’d came back the previous night.
 
Quote from Lucrum:

Save The Banks? Why Do We Bother?
Michael Silverstein



Governments are all agreed,
On one thing they've closed ranks,
The thing to do above all else:
"We gotta save the banks;

"These institutions are so key,
They can't be left to wallow,
'Cause once they get back on their feet,
Then all good things will follow."

But after trillions down this well,
Got banks a tad more healthy,
And put their books in better shape,
And made bankers more wealthy;
Economies still get no boost,
There's no swell in jobs' tide,
It seems that banks and bankers took
The public for a ride.
More...

Can't help thinking that if the bankers were to be put on notice that they had 6 months to clear up their messes or 1 would be hung per week, then the situation would be quickly resolved.
On second thoughts maybe 1 politician too.
