I wonder, what is the best way to reconnect the right people to the market and in tern regaining control?

The American taxpayer finds him/herself caught between a rock and hard place because of the irresponsible actions of a highly priveledged few. Ultimately, we're going to have to lend them the money they need or go down in the ship we thought someone had control of.

However, before anybody sees a dime, there should be some very powerful controls in place (which your article alludes to):

1. We want our money back. Everyone on Wall Street will understand that, because they don't give away money for free either. And we want it back with interest.

2. A bi-partisan Congressional investigation will take place to a) determine if there is any criminal activity involved, and b) to determine the best regulatory structure for a system that has clearly outgrown its previous controls.

3. Legislation will be passed to limit CEO compensation based upon company performance, and the compensation figure will include severance packages and forms of non-monetary advantages the position provides.

If we don't do the three things listed above, we will see this situation happen again, and it might be far worse the next time. Greed is a disease, and unless it is treated radically, it will always grow back.

P.S. Thanks for a great site. I especially liked the Meet the Press segment. I missed it, and I'm really glad you had it here for me to see.
