What do you suggest should be done instead when a business can’t make the payroll because they were invested in one of these failing entities?

In Capitalism, some people fail while other people win.

In Socialism, no body fails and no body wins.

As for me, call me a radical Conservative, I am for Capitalism!

However, I understand that some people fear Free Markets and want the Government there to save the day with MY tax dollars.

I'm a capitalist too but as I said I am not an economist. All I know is that another 1920's style stock market crash wouldn't help us. And I DO believe that Raines, Johnson and others need to be investigated and stripped of their enrichment that came at others expense.

However, I understand that some people fear Free Markets and want the Government there to save the day with MY tax dollars.

That wasn't a free market. That was a rigged market.
