A healthy dose of criticism. As complex as our financial system is, our stock market is so complex that it's incapable of modeling. I feel Nassim Taleb's strategy is fresh and logical to combat this by preventing banks to invest in the volatile stock market, where they can build incrementally and then take a huge risk and lose it all. Hedge Fund investment firms should be our investment vehicles. Also, reducing taxes.
The current administration has to combat this issue of debt. The political ideology is so competitive and egocentric it is hindering the speed of progress. Republicans also need to take accountability for the debt (Bush came to power with $5T in debt and launched it $12T, more than doubling a debt that took our country from conception to build). It needs a focused attention to find a cure, not just fight the symptoms. This isn't the common cold, and won't go away on it's own.
