		<description>I just wanted to say that this is [IMO] one of the best explanations I&#039;ve ever read regarding this phenomenon... also, are these comments showing as being made in &quot;1999&quot; because of the changeover in the blog software?</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The reason consideration should be given to government bailout or controlled failure of, particularly depository, financial institutions is that these institutions--by way of Federal Reserve monopoly control, monopoly legal tender laws, FDIC, and a host of other regulations--are at best private franchises of government institutions.  Allowing these institutions to fail is much like letting the Defense Department fail.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The answer is to accept for now that these are essentially government enterprises, and strive for regulatory reform that will lead toward full privatization.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And the way to do that is remove the monopoly laws and open up the market to a parallel clearly-identified free banking system.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Bailouts, and various kinds of government subsidy contribute to building a gap of sorts in the overall economy. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Where there&#039;s supposed to be solid foundation with bricks, mortar, framing, etc, there are actually huge gaps in the economic infrastructure caused by the artificial support of the government. Not just from bailouts, but the more common and everyday subsidy and a whole host of regulations that retard competition. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, back to the building analogy, where there&#039;s supposed to be four by four framing connected to a solid foundation, in reality there&#039;s only stucco covering a huge gap in the wall where no undergirding exists. It looked like a solid wall that might be supporting its portion of the building, but of course it was a structural liability.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The bailouts are mostly a distraction. The government has controlled the financial industry since at least 1913; or maybe its the other way around.&lt;/p&gt;
