This is nonsense. There should be no such thing as too big to fail. Where there is supply there will be demand. Larger banks would have failed and new ones opened to replace the irresponsible ones. the idea that any civillian entity could not be replaced is utter nonsense.

Yeah, I'd like to see what happens when we have a melt down like Japan are we then going to be able to sue the reactor plants? If we're late with the bill we surely don't get a break..and what about the fact that there has never been enough jobs for the workable age,  & who gave anyone the right to own the things it takes to live on this planet that we are born on to the monopolies why are those things not owned by "We the People" & $ too..? Nuts the whole gov needs a good house cleaning. TY

Well, I'd rather see them driving Japans/American made GenPax water car or something far better..it's out there...like the Air Car...what about Solar cars...why do we always go down the dark roads that don't help the Earth Mother. Nuts you wish your grand children and the future children to have a bigger mess than they already have .. passing the buck are we? Mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and lastly physically.thanks

Suggestions for Social security and other entitlements. Tax cuts for the elderly that keep working past the retirement age and or raising the retirement age but also raising the age one begins paying into the programs. e.g raising it to 70 but you begin paying into the program at 30. Thank you for sharing these lectures, so much value.
