As far as I understand, we're not talking trickle-down economics here. We're talking about if banks go bust, customers that rely on them for finance will struggle, small businesses will go bust for lack of credit, their staff will lose their jobs, they will lose their homes, 1929 will happen all over again.
There are greedy shit bankers will keep their jobs and their preposterous bonuses because of $700,000,000,000 being pumped into the banking system by the government buying up bad debts, but that's an unfortunate side-effect, not the intention of the exercise. If the government had any balls (but we know they don't, because we know where their campaign funds come from), they would put conditions on the buy-out that would stop the banks' corporate greed, but that's probably not going to happen. But that's no excuse for letting millions of poor people suffer.
