The New Replublic
The only way Obama can fix the economy is by changing the way banks do business.
The Obama administration's strategy to address the economic crisis may be making the problem worse. Its plan–bailing out one financial institution after another and rebuilding the old system pretty much as was–treats the symptoms, not the disease, and will leave us fiscally and financially weaker. The disease is letting financial companies borrow in order to gamble, resting easy that Uncle Sam will cover their losses. The more the government enables this behavior, the more financial companies will gamble at public expense and the greater the chance of systemic collapse.
