griffin pointed this out. fdic is going to guarantee corporate debt to bond holders, counter parties and creditors for any failed company. isn't that precisely what the government did in the bailout of aig and citigroup in 2008? so again, isn't this in truth, a bailout, notwithstanding with dodd and mr. obama and tim geithner to say? >> this is a structured way to deal with failures. i've got fdic insurance just like you do. if you have a checking account or savings account, any financial institution in this country you have fdic insurance. to try to call that a bailout is really being disingenuous. both the democrats and republicans spent a lot of time dismembering regulation of wall street. it's time that we reregulate wall street. >> gregg: you may call it semantics, but there is a difference between bankruptcy and bailouts that trps end up paying for. mr. griffin, let me go to you -- the reason is this. financial institutions that got taxpayer bailouts, its practice that in fairness begin under president b
