and as far as being to big to fail or too big of a ripple effect, if compay A and B are competing and company A fails. company B will be hireing to pick up the slack. its not like bigillions quadzillions of people will lose their job like pelosi says.

Agreed, of course Company B will become a monopoly and Anti-Trust laws will break it up.

Remember when the administration stated "We have no interest in running any of these bailed out companies." Riiiiiight.
(they even said it with a straight face multiple times..... anyone in the media remember ANY of that???

So, let's see.... banks, mortgage loan companies, auto companies, and now the entire health care industry. No, there's absolutely nothing to worry about here.... business as usual.

We could have 'saved' big steel in this country. We could have let GM and Crysler go the way of the steel industry.
Forign steel became better and better at a lessor price than domestically produced steel.

It's a matter of putting these perspectives to future generations.

Government ran schools won't allow it, it's up to each parent to educate the next americans. Not the socialists.

The damage is done. It's important to know how it has come about. Eff the gov't cheese - I aint eating it.

true, but i still believe (maybe unrealistically) that someone would come along (maybe even an employee of company B), see that company B has no competition (therefore usually higher prices) and think that they can open up company C for the American dream even without the anti trust laws.

I'd really be amazed to see a great exodus of CEO's and VP's heading for foreign countries! I would hope that the people who are smart enough to make it to the positions that pay millions of dollars are also smart enough to know that this is the country (still) that allows that kind of opportunity more than any other country and that supplanting the native countries brain trust (language being the least of their problems) would be extremely difficult. Think a US ceo could make it in Japan? India? Ok maybe England, how about France? maybe, but very very difficult in the day to day dealings. I think the Banks are realizing how they screwed up by taking the money and will be doing everything in their power to pay it back ASAP.

Ever think of the possibility of them just quitting? If I had a few mill in the bank at age 40+ with all my bills paid, I'd just quit. You can go to other countries and live much cheaper.

Most American millionares just go to Montana to retire.... it has great tax laws. (and, it's flatout beautiful too.)
