I think the more important question is what has (have?) been the unintended consequences of the new bankruptcy law? Making it more difficult to liquidate liabilities,and start fresh, the way corporations can, would seem to be an overall drag on the consumer driven economy. It's purely speculative on my part. Don't know how you could measure it. I'm not a lawyer, but I've argued that I think the new bankruptcy law has constitutional issues in the sense that it treats real live, breathing citizens differently than corporate citizens.

This is a nice bookend to the 2000 piece you have highlighted here--just pointing it out. If Jon Stewart can't make people see the hypocrisy, maybe this finally will, and possibly in the aftermath of the next crisis CNBC will be replace by Soupy Sales reruns. Actually Soupy was much more direct in his money pitches--remember when he asked the kids to get the little green pieces of paper from daddy's wallet and mail them in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
