The article that sparked this thought: "JP Morgan Said to..."; For the first time in a while a miniature rant will ensue: I am not an economic expert but I believe that at times our government fails to act in our best interest. In my humble upon the concept and model of capitalism relies upon self correction (ie bankruptcy). If the government continually bails out businesses; these sectors will have no fear of failure.
