"To all those saying that those companies can afford it themselves, remember that there are reasons they don't."

This sounds a lot like "God moves in mysterious ways and has a plan for everyone, everything happens for a reason". No actual analysis and reasoning required.

This free market religion is what gave us 2008 and will keep giving.

I'm confused, my comment you replied to was the opposite of free market religion. Also kind of the opposite of "mysterious ways."

Ah yes, the free market utopia every libertarian dreamed of existed in 2008. There were only just over 100,000 pages of federal law and regulations. Not to mention state and local laws.

I see, if we had 0 pages of regulations, then banks would be ethical, then they would not create CDOs and then synthetic CDOs and destroy globaln economy.

You mean the one about 100,000 pages? How is that of any relevance to CDOs?
