This, of course, can only apply going forward, but the current bailout should include punishment for those that brought us to the current situation:
Such as Robert Rubin being appointed to Obama's Council of Economic Advisors. Hey, Grandma Moses started late!
Plus, a bailout under the "putting an end to 'too big to fail'" rule could help push the sector in the right direction energy-wise. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
Clearly the lesson to draw from this, if you're the head of a company, is to turn yourself into a bank and fuck up as much as you possibly can, preferably in a way that threatens to bring down the whole system. Only the Bushies could govern in a way that turns incentives to such scenarios. It reads like a really bad Marxist novel. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
