    Summary:
    - Allow FDIC to take over non-bank financial entities.
    - Make a large part of bank capital converitble to equity.
    - Remove philosopy of to big to fail
    - Re-enstate Glass-Stegal or some variant of it
    - Only allow CDS as hedge against actual holdings.
    - Require originator of securitized mortgages to retain substantial equity position.
    - Write toxic assets down to real value
    - Fire Uncle Ben and Turbo Timmy.

    I think there is a lot more to do but this is a good start.
