      <![CDATA[God knows that Citigroup deserves to die. It certainly deserves to. <br />
<br />
But if it does, it'll bring down half the economy with it. And GM and Ford being allowed to go bankrupt will bring down the other half. <br />
<br />
So, yes. It most certainly deserves to die. But not now. Not when we're already on the brink of disaster. <br />
<br />
In any case, Treasury Dept should have gotten a heck of a lot more than 8% of the company for the $40 billion bailout, considering that with its current stock price, all of Citigroup is only worth about $40 billion today. In fact, tax payers should have bled that company dry.

infuriating. the reason we're in this mess is because things that are tangeable are considered massively less valuable than things that aren't. <br />

They had the nerve to charge me 28% interest on a 30 day statement after 20 years of perfect payment history. And now I'll be giving more of my money for nothing. I wish they were treated half as poorly.

How will they somehow let the healthcare execs get away with billions, while giving taxpayers nothing? Que emocionante!

      <![CDATA["Nobel Laureate Krugman" does not agree with you. Your post makes rather clear that you would prefer Citi to disappear. Krugman's post makes rather clear that he would not ("a bailout was necessary"). Your beefs are with Citi's sins way back in the Clinton administration -- for Krugman an idyllic time in which nothing bad ever happened. Krugman's beefs are with the details of the bailout package.

This was back when a billion dollars was still impressive.  So this is like a rerun on a slightly more colossal scale.

      <![CDATA[Thanks for writing about this, Mr. G.  It's terrible in so many ways, but it does ineluctably prove that at this point in our economic and political history, propping up inflated asset prices throughout the financial industry trumps propping up industry.  Factory owners and organized labor can let go of their illusions at least.

      <![CDATA[jonathan, i'd like to take this moment to thank you for even bothering to write about the economy at slog.  except for you, it seems to be a "bummer-free zone" where the economy is concerned, except for the morning news, where it is sometimes linked, but not discussed.
