I'm on records a being for markets but I believe that government has a role when market forces fail.

In the case of the financial institutions, better regulation is needed. Certainly, using the Bank of the General Public every time a financial firm takes a hit isn't the answer. It galls me that these firms demand tax breaks when they're making billions but run to the government for help when they're losing billions.
