The problem today is that for whatever reason we're not willing to let
capitalism prune the massively inefficient wasteful companies and
instead feel the need to maintain them in their inefficient state.

well that depends. if EVERY company is doing the same thing...such as
credit swaps...and EVERY company is at risk how does the market handle
this?

and if a company is much too big to be allowed to fail, how does the
market handle that? as the saying goes, 'if you owe the bank $1000 you
have a problem; if you owe the bank $1M the bank has a problem'.
