Where did this "too big to fail" idea come from? Shouldn't it be too big to succeed? The nimble small business eats the lunch of the megalithic bureaucracy every time. Get the guvmint out of the way so those raw materials (the compost of the dying businesses) can be worked back into the system. The people who are let go and re-employed will benefit better than being trod on by the stagnant bosslord... who typically cannot survive in a "real" economy... and must live in a guvmint or big bureaucracy where quality and merit don't matter. Sounds like the feudal system we were just talking about.

I agree that an absence of laissez faire is what caused the current situation- but I doubt a heapin' helpin' of it is gonna cure our current ills. Somehow that trembling excuse, "too big to fail" rings true all around the circle. So the question remains, what intelligent cure to provide. While Goldberg's analysis of "Intellectual Hypocrisy" was interesting and entertaining, in the light of looking to the top to give us answers, it was also very,very scary.
