Let market forces resolve the US credit crisis  Regarding the
Nov. 5 Opinion piece, "What's really burning down the financial
house": Natural market forces should be used to correct this
matter. Why bail out institutions that made grave mistakes and
floated investments with inadequate funds to support them? When
a Main Street gambler loses, no one comes to bail him out,
despite his legitimate effect on the economy.  I propose letting
market forces resolve the banking institutions' failures by
letting them be fully exposed to the consequences of their ill-
fated gambles. In other words, let capitalism do its job. After
all, a market economy should not have allowed for the trading of
intangibles.  Mr. Lange
