R.I.P. for the Economy

No, this isn't an eulogy. It's a simple way to remember what needs to be done

1. REGULATE - If the current mess has taught us anything - a market without rules is doomed.

2. INVESTIGATE - To understand what happened, how it happened and how to best avoid a similar mess in the future - it's necessary to investigate. How much of the problem was caused by a lack of regulation, by a lack of competent oversight, or by flagrant disregard for the "rules"?

3. PROSECUTE - Accountability and Responsibility, without it there is no confidence in our economy, our regulatory departments, or our laws. If any is 'held above the law' then there are no laws to be upheld.
