Normally, bank robberies work the other way. An armed and masked gang walks into the bank, fires a few shotgun blasts, tells everyone to get on the floor, and asks the clerks to fill up canvas bags with the fabulous moolah. It’s simple. That is not the way it works in modern central banking, though. Today, it’s as if Hank Paulson is pointing his “big bazooka” bailout plan at Wall Street and demanding it opens up its wallet so he can fill it with other people’s money.
