Financial institutions are the top feeders of our economy. When basic business is good, and profits are high, they can "skim" and make profits buying and selling in abstract.

That is not the case now. Instead of resuscitating the top feeders, we need to regrow the bottom line. Basic business, small businesses need to be formed. A new DOW Jones needs to be found.

You can't keep pouring old wine into new skins...
