The pundits on the Hill and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue would not be able to cry foul over the bonuses of Wall Street executives had their companies been allowed to fail. Instead, they were propped up with taxpayer's money, against the express desires of many citizens. Propping up a failed business, then expecting different behavior? I've heard a similar definition for insanity.
There were alternatives, but in the rush to *do something* billions and billions of dollars have gone into this black hole, with no accountability, and certianly no idea as to whether the expenditure has provided *any* positive results.
