What is the investment banker's perception of "hard times?" Driving an old car? Having to sell one of the vacation homes? This unregulated party had to come to an end, too bad we have to wait for a crisis for action to occur. Forgiveness? sure. But forgiveness shouldn't come with a hand out but with lots of hard work. "Go and sin no more."

Doesn’t the bailout of the American economy also effect the world market and thus a bailout not only secures our own interests but the interests of the poor in Indonnesia, China, Japan and other world bank entities where their market stability matters much more than ours does? As our economy goes—so does others. So aren’t there are more wide ranging social justice issues at stake than we may in fact think at first blush? Excellent article, Marc!
