Javier, I agree with you on several points, but am forced to disagree with injecting religion as any part of the solution, as the problem is larger than that.

Adding to the national debt will not "fix" this problem: no debt transference to any individual or institution will fix the problem. The investment companies need working capital so that they can resume loans and investments to get the economy rolling again.

So where are we going to find $1 Trillion dollars to give to Wall Street? Simple, we're going to make it. We're going to print $1,000,000,000 in new bills. The consequences? A large spike in inflation rates, and a devaluing of the dollar on the world market.

That means that this bailout will affect literally every man, woman, and child in the country. Everything we buy as individuals will cost more due to inflation. Everything we buy as a nation will cost more due to a devalued dollar. The problem transcends political divisions, wealth divisions, and religious divisions, and the solution must do so as well.

I believe that your heart is in the right place Javier, but that by injecting religion, you risk alienating people who will be affected by this crisis and its proposed solution.
