All it would take for Wall Street to restore the confidence of investors and the general public would be for a few financial fat cats to do the honorable thing. Specifically, they should throw their Armani briefcases through the windows of their penthouse offices, climb out onto their ledges, and jump. No parachutes, golden or otherwise, allowed. A couple of good plunges would demonstrate that the titans of finance are prepared to take responsibility for their acts and omissions.
With any luck, one or two might land on a member of the Federal Reserve Board.
