Bank Bailout Should be Reversed

David Kudla, CEO of Mainstay Capital Management, had stated that if the bank bailout had failed there would have been a global catastrophe. But, according to Roger Nightingale, an economist from Pointon York, thinks otherwise. He believes that the banks should pay back their bailout money to help out the other industries. When the government decided to give help to the banks because they were "special" gave the other industries hope that if they were about to fail that the government will bail them out too. Now that the government has declined the auto bailout, they should get the banks to repay their bailout money and help the other industries, while helping out the banks with a cut in the interest rates and no fiscal adjustments.
