Some bullets regarding the banks and the auto industry.

• The government should let the banks fail. Let the FDIC do its job and damn the rest.
• The government should let the auto industry fail. Out of the ashes of GM, Ford and Chrysler will rise small, high-tech startups who will manufacture the cars of the future. Most of them are already here. With the large trees felled, the little ones will grow faster.
• This is what economies, do. Anyone remember the dot com failure in 2000-2001? Out of the ashes came a ton of new companies with great ideas. Capitalism always has a way of making things work.
• Don't bore me with "the auto industry is too big." please. Larger sectors of our economy have fallen and come back. If it doesn't come back then blame the unions.
