There's celebrations occuring with respect to the government "saving" the economy with multiple bailouts. However, this leads to its own problems, namely: 1. Demand has certainly died-off, but supply isn't allowed to follow suit. In banking for instance, since Citi and GMAC are still around, margins will remain tight and overly competitive for what few borrowers there are, and what few creditors (savings) there are.

At least Buffett in his annual commentary on Berkshire gave credit where credit was due..."Our most important business, insurance, benefited from a large dose of luck: Mother Nature, bless her heart, went on vacation. After hammering us with hurricanes in 2004 and 2005-storms that caused us to lose a bundle on super-cat insurance-she just vanished."
Contrast that with an article in today's International Herald Tribune, " Insurance chiefs get big bonuses thanks to good weather ."
According to the article, annual bonuses for CEOs at the 21 companies in the S&P insuranc...
