Help banks? It's not such a horrible idea

"I know how unpopular it is to be seen as helping banks right now," President Obama just said. "It's not about helping banks, it's about helping people."

That may play well in Peoria or Paducah, but here in Bank Town, where bankers are losing jobs left and right, we are not quite so averse to helping banks.

After all, when you help the banks, you are helping people.
