Although I am not commenting on the current crisis, I think it would be irresponsible of me not to point out that I not only saw it coming five years ago, I even suggested a number of potential solutions which were similar in shape to the one actually chosen, but decidedly more innovative. If any readers are emailing their congressmen etc, you can quote me if you like. I promise that I am not trying to talk up a massive speculative book of Beanie Babies.
