But if Americans keep defaulting on these mortgages and asset values continue to crash, the total loss to the financial world will be far greater than...

...President Obama recognized the real risk here: some very good bankers might not want to work for maximum-wage pay and could bolt their TARP-constrained companies. Why, for instance, would JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, perhaps the most astute operator in banking, want to labor for a measly 500 large to run a company with $2.2 trillion in assets...
