Does the liquidity crisis end now? Will the credit markets thaw?

[Kilroy003]

If there is no bailout bill on the horizon, why not open up the coffers and get back to business? So we lose a few investment banks and rich folks and risky investors take a hit. Why should taxpayers have to suffer too?

1. It's not a liquidity crisis. It's a solvency crisis.

Trillions of dollars of "value" were put on the books that never really existed. What's happening now is that everybody is being forced to realize/admit that it never existed. These banks are failing because they did not have the assets they claimed to have.
