I understand and accept the consequences as the deployed "solutions" have not solved anything.

Most banks have survived. Most business loans haven't been called in. Most mortgage-holding families (IOW most middle-class families) have kept their homes. That's something.

Our medicine is coming and I'd prefer to take it now while we can still recover, with the added benefit that a crash will ensure a house/senate cleaning which is desperately needed.

I hope you're wrong. A crash will allow transfer of even more $ to large institutions and the sorts of people who have cash to purchase assets at fire-sale prices. We've already seen what happens when you allow too much asset and power to concentrate itself. IMHO we need to go in the other direction.
