It IS an interesting conundrum that our government has gotten itself into.

The whole idea of 'too big to fail' bothers me to no end. If it is possible for a company to be 'too big to fail' then in my opinion - how did our regulatory environment allow a company to become so big that it is too big to fail. That's as bad or worse than allowing a monopoly to exist I think.

take for example our phone companies - cell phones in particular. Survey their prices - I just picked up a new plan for the wife - almost every carrier is withing a dollar or two of each other. There is no competition - it makes me ill.

I can never help but think 'Yugo' when I hear about how our government is propping up these auto companies.
