>>And without strong reform, it will happen again.

Or a very simple reform - one that favors equity over debt. Allow corporations to deduct dividends (and fully tax them to the recipient) and restrict the deduction of interest on debt if it exceeds set ratios.

Or if we don't like that we can create intricate laws, enforced by hoards of new government employees who can spend their time on the internet instead of doing their jobs. Lawyers will make a fortune figuring ways around the laws and jobs will move to more favorable jurisdictions.
