Looking at the course of business over the last 100 years is supposed to change my opinion that no one solution is right 100% of the time? I'm not arguing weather or not the bailouts were right or wrong, I'm saying we need to be free to look at all viable solutions and find the one that best fits the situation we're facing (and then we can argue until we're blue in the face about weather or not it was right), not blindly applying one fix all solution, crossing our fingers and hoping it works again.
But that's not the point anyway. I'm saying that I don't buy into the rights hyperbole that we are punishing and not celebrating success in this country. Are there barriers that tend to make it more difficult sometimes? Sure but we hardly exist in a society that doesn't allow people to reap the reward of their hard work or at least given a chance to try.
