JD, if one of your cows kicks you in the leg, do you shoot her dead on the spot, or do you limp off with the expectation she will produce another calf or two? I think you're equating what you think is morally justified with what is in the best interests of our country. Sorry, but it seldom works out that way. Certainly a lot of very highly paid people in the financial sector behaved badly and should have been punished.

The idea that we would have been better off in the long run if the financial crisis had gone unchecked is a bit of Monday-morning quarterbacking that isn't supported by the facts. We don't know for sure what would have happened if the government hadn't stepped in and just let the dominoes continue to fall. But considering the fact that the crisis affected just about every American (and a lot of people overseas), it seems pretty likely there would have been a lot of suffering on the part of average people without the various bailouts and stimulus packages.
