TBTF institutions should be instructed (through legislation) to voluntarily break themselves in Glass-Steagle style, NOT TBTF institutions, or the government would step in and do it for them.

Recommend. 4) Finally, an idea from the blogosphere: U.S. congressmen should have to dress like Nascar drivers and wear the logos of all the banks, investment banks, insurance companies and real estate firms that they’re taking money from. That could work for debates, too.

Capitalism and free markets are the best engines for generating growth and relieving poverty — provided they are balanced with meaningful transparency, regulation and oversight. We lost that balance in the last decade. If we don’t get it back — and there is now a tidal wave of money resisting that — we will have another crisis. And, if that happens, the cry for justice could turn ugly. Free advice to the financial services industry: Stick to being bulls. Stop being pigs. That's the most important paragraph in this article. Ron Paul opposes gov't regulation..........yet you cite an article that supports it. Trust me, I am not the one who is confused.
