My, my, a bit too busy putting others down to focus. I am impressed by your expansive vocabulary (systemic risk is really cerebral) but not so impressed with your inability to respond to my question. I didn't ask WHAT happened at AIG. I asked you to explain what the ramifications of not bailing them would be. You simply give a generalization it would ruin the world not to bail them out. How? Since you have such a firm grasp on the mysteries of systemic risk, please outline why the market will be unable to adjust to their failure. We understand there will be pain involved in the failure, but why are you so opposed to letting the market make the adjustments? How does the massive bailout package really solve the problems we have? It seems to me we are only delaying the inevitable correction every bubble market must make. It looks like you are backing the idea of a "central planner" in the government to make everything ok? That solution sounds like the Eastern Europe of old....and we all know how that turned out.
