That said about lesser of evil arguments, it is important to recognize what has not happened. Taleb says as much. What has not happened: a new Dark Age where government gets populated by those who believe the earth is only 6,000 years old. We were close to that. The Justice Department was being staffed by those people who graduated from Pat Robertson's "law school." Another thing that did not happen. Wall Street did NOT get Social Security like they wanted. You can bet it all would have been plowed into those AAA CDOs. Maybe the party would still be going. I mention this because some argue that the Wall Street oligarchy has complete control. They do not.
