when BIG is BAD

When it creates systemic risk -- big is definitely bad -- and if anyone had been looking, there it was plain as day - every day since the M&A madness but the elephant in the room got ignored until it morphed into a whole herd. You know, those elephants named GM, AIG, et al.

Can't someone there on Wall Street figure out how to make a pile from downsizing the behemoths? Big bonuses for medium sized, no systemic risks pieces that are manageable by humans and not needing the power of buildings full of computers? Mammoth bonuses for small sized segments that will locate in small towns and soak up the unemployed.

No more creative theoretic FP's --- let's just get old fashioned and acknowledge that there is scale that is human friendly- anyone got an algorithm for it?
