I simply think letting the financials fail was a risk too far.

Why? Let the solvent firms buy up - for pennies on the dollar - those who drove themselves into insolvency. Where needed, work out a deal to help those new - presumably diligent and competent - owners.

Stock and bond holders of failed companies SHOULD lose their investments. That's how honest, free markets are intended to work.

Having honest, free markets work their magic would do a better job at restoring confidence than watching the circus of how those with best political connections grab the largest chunks of taxpayer's money.
