The Right Kind of Bailout
The auto industry needs an industry-wide horoic solution to the non competative legacy beneftis package that keeps dragging them down. Something like the rairoad retirement system that was established early in last century to resolve the legacy rairoad pension system.
The auto industry was THE significant driver in creating the post-WW II midle class. Think of the increase in the number of cars per capita over thr past 50 years and the establishment of the great American surban landscape. For better or worse, auto's were the driver, and the country can't just discard the aging workforce that was at the heart of this process.
Solution: a prepackaged reorganization of the entire industry that begins with a nationalized auto retirement system (income and health insurance), funded over a long future period by profit participation from the new unfettered re-capitalized businesses. Force the UAW to accept a radically restured work environment and wage structure in return for full government guarentees of the auto retirement system.

Understanding Credit Default Swaps: A Case for Regulation
It would seem to make perfect sense to limit CDS purchases using some sorrt of dynamic insurable interest standard that would limit the size of the CDS market to the amount of the investments being insured, and would require that an entity buying and holding a CDS has an ongoing equivalent insurable interest in the underlying security that is being insured through the CDS.

I'm actually quite worried that there will be a neo-con reactionary backlash after Obama wins that could push the US into a very unpleasant state.
The Longs are Getting Squeezed
Our financial system cannot stand the waterfall effect of doubling the available shares of every stock one by one, which appears to be what is happening. The end game will be to starve all companies of new capital (can't sell new shares to expand if your stock has been driven down 50% by short sellers.)
What a great outcome for our country.

Debating the Lehman Collapse
Hmm. Seems to me that buyers of firms shorted to death (Countrywide, Bear, Indymac,Leh...) won't have any reason to communciate post ante that the buyee was acually in great shape, so the above statement is fairly silly.
