There have to be cuts somewhere. $700,000,000.00 is a pile of money.

Did the system not work because it was not overhauled?

There are very difficult choices ahead. Any of those choices are going to have consequences.

If the decision was logical? I’m cool with it. If it was simply a political “take that!” moment, well, shame on them.

Interesting coincidence:

$700,000,000 = 1000 times the original amount of TARP funding.

No point to make there, but the coincidence is amusing.
