OK here is my analogy of the latest Geithner plan.

Picture a car full of screaming people shooting off a cliff, plundging to
their death.

Now freeze frame.

Back up the film until the car is still a few feet from going off the edge of
the cliff.

Now a guy in a nice three piece suit walks into the frozen frame of car,
people screaming, etc. He opens the doors one at a time and goes thru
everyones purse, pockets, wallets, taking all their money, closes the doors,
and walks out of the frame counting the money.

OK, now roll film.
