More Foxes and a Bigger Hen House

Growing up in the country reminds me of an old saying- "Fox is Guarding the Hen House."

The article, How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis: Kevin Hassett, a Bloomberg News columnist covers straight forward how the Fox was in charge of the hen house, but today the hen house is bigger and we have many more Foxes. I would offer that we have fewer traps as well.

If the Fox could not be caught earlier when the stakes were as high as they've proven to be, what makes you think that more Foxes, a bigger Hen House, and fewer traps are going to restrain this predator in the least?

What can the hens do? Should they run? Should they surrender for a certain fate? Should they set more traps? Maybe they should get a better trap.

Did the Fox finally set his own trap? There is always hope, but it isn't obvious to at least one rooster.
