LOWER THE FLAGS ALONG WALL STREET TO HALF-STAFF. Play a dirge and hang out the crepe. Market capitalism is dead. Our financial system, for all intents and purposes, has been federalized, with taxpayer-financed "backstops" stretching as far the eye can see. Bear Stearns, Freddie Mac (ticker: FRE), Fannie Mae (FNM) and their mortgage-industry brothers-in-ARMs all are beneficiaries of this corporate-welfare scheme. Other reckless lenders with sob stories almost certainly will be added to the list.

Huh? Didn't they do the same damn thing with the Resolution Trust in the early 90s after 12 years of Reagan and Bush?
