I often wonder how it is that we have all these reasoned voices laying out some very basic steps to fix our problems and yet the laws we get are so convoluted that legislators don't read the bills, don't understand the legislation and end up passing garbage.<br />Fama and many others are exactly right - raise the capital requirements. Shouldn't that be easy? Right away it lessens the "too big to fail" issue by ensuring these institutions have a cushion. <br />I wish all the personal finance bloggers out there could listen to Fama's talk on market efficiency. So many don't understand it.DIY Investorhttp://rwinvesting.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
