I don't think that it's a problem that can easily be solved by throwing 
money at it.  The Securities and Exchange Commission likely had more 
than enough money to do its job, and the likes of Madoff still managed 
to get around it.

Maybe if we could get all the problem makers and problem solvers 
together, and locked them in together until they fixed things the 
results would be interesting.  That would cost a lot for travel and 
accommodations, but I'm not prepared to show great optimism that such a 
solution will come about.
