So they finally gave it up and accomplished nothing other than risk peoples well-being and make themselves look like idiots.
I wonder if any attempt will be made to fix the system? Probably not ... but a representational democracy where people cannot be unelected is broken and encourages extremism.
No doubt the crazies will carry on their stupidity though.

One of the great myths shoved down our throats is the 'free market' unincummbered by government regulation will establish fair and true values, humans are way to greedy dishonest and corrupt.

I think this will happen again because the GOP leadership is weak, the Tea Party are stubborn and incapable of learning anything and because Obamacare is going to be here and the President will not drop it (quite rightly).
So, see everyone again here in a few months!

Amen . And for further information on the subject, please google "Enron".
a free market + unbridled greed and corruption - government regulations = disaster.

Then our only hope is a spontaneous flash of insight amongst Tea Party congress critters.
We're doomed!
