WASHINGTON (AP) -- Wall Street may have discovered a way out from under the bad debt and risky mortgages that have clogged the financial markets. The would-be solution probably sounds familiar: It's a lot like what got banks in trouble in the first place.
In recent months investment banks have been repackaging old mortgage securities and offering to sell them as new products, a plan that's nearly identical to the complicated investment packages at the heart of the market's collapse.

If it makes you feel any better, this isn't "another" financial crisis, this is the same one. We aren't even close to being out of the woods.

Unfortunately we've already screwed up the future for a dozen generations to come.
The thing to do would be to wipe the system clean and start anew with the hope that in the future they don't become complacent and afraid to fix things like many people are today.
