As for the article above, it represents more of the same. If every irresponsible and technically bankrupt corporation were allowed to fail the pain would be so massive and long lasting that it would give rise to fundamental solutions that would change the way the U.S. Government and U.S. corporations are allowed to do business. How GM is allowed to continue operating with a $ 200 billion debt beats me ............

Farmer448, that was brilliant and I laughed my A$$ off. The problem is that Cheney's Blind Trust (mainly consisting of Halliburton) tripled in value after he fabricated reasons to invade Iraq, so rest assured his Blind Trust probably shorted financials a year ago to benefit from yet another mess created by his Administration (He is, after all, the de facto Prez.).

No, the Texas Mafia has no interest in reforming the system, whether economically or politically, because "The Lord helps him who helps himself". I wouldn't hold your breath aiting for anyone in this Administration to (Heaven forbid) actually do something POSITIVE....
