Solution to the Financial Crisis: Have Big Oil Use Profits To Bail Out Wall Street
Seriously, Exxon Mobile ALONE had $40 Billion in PROFIT last year and they have even more cash-on hand. Take the PROFITs from all of the BIG OIL companies and use it as collateral to bail out Wall Street.

Big Oil gets no ownership. Wall Street has to pay them back. Gas prices are capped.

Now that is a solution I think most Americans will appreciate.

2. We'd have to nationalize Big Oil first.
Fine by me though. I'm all for it!
