Yeah, the fear mongering and the 'requirement' that this is fixed by Friday will insure that reasonable solutions don't come into the debate. @rchiniquy: financial fixed. thanks.

I'm not sure how many conversations I've had where I argue for the high salaries of the financial guys -- it's a function of risk vs. return, incentive to get the best minds running the funds, blah, blah. These guys should not get bailed out, and if they fail, that's their fault. The guys in Washington are doing a bang up fear mongering job, though. Also, didn't know you were at Joost now -- that's pretty cool. In that vein, I will now have a much harder time persuading people to support the free market system.
