Looks to me like the CDO (SIV, Game Theory) bubble bursting revealed an ugly cesspool which was here all along. Globalism, outsourcing jobs and industry, it's all going to take some regulation, careful planning and security measures. Otherwise, here we'll sit (game theory).

I'd like to see our country practice more capitalism, for a change. Bailing out places like the Bank of America, only for the bank to give out millions of dollars in bonuses when the money was allegedly supposed to ensure their basic survival, is idiocy. Let them fail.
