We have to drive a stake through both the perpetrators and the policies.  If we let the perps off, they will be emboldened to begin anew to subvert any reasonable regulations so as to get their cons going again.  Discredit the policy and philosophy.  Prosecute and destroy financially all that can be convicted of fraud.  Firmly establish the connection between the deregulatory philosophy and fraudulent behavior.  Drive this home to the public.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
