why government is NOT the answer to the current crisis. Quite the opposite.

from washingtonpost.com:

Absent from such conclusions is the central role the government played
in creating the crisis. Yes, many Wall Street leaders were
irresponsible, and they should pay. But they were playing the distorted
hand dealt them by government policies. Our leaders irrationally
promoted home-buying, discouraged savings, and recklessly encouraged
borrowing and lending, which together undermined our markets.

Identifiying Detroit's shortcomings?

For those wondering why Detroit has fumbled in automotive innovation, consider that they've not invested sufficiently in innovation: (from NYTimes at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/automobiles/14AUTO.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin) -- a seven story tower!

Mr. Hall said: “If G.M. were alone in this initiative, the Volt
probably would be enough to boost it back to the top of the
technological heap. But in Toyota City, there’s a seven-story tower
called the Electric Powertrain Building. And Chrysler
has a hybrid project called ENVI that’s progressing more quickly than
expected. So the best that can be hoped is that the Volt will move G.M.
to the front row of companies with contemporary propulsion technology.”
