thats basically my point, Companies still aren't taking responsibility for anything and are running the companies to keep the share price up so the Exec team can collect on their options in 4 years and move on. Similarly the government seems completely incompetent, and willfully blind to the risks being taken.

Two things come to mind: - stock buybacks can be eliminated with legislation - Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac are still under government conservatorship
