Perhaps this should be a cost of doing business in the future? We all pay for this anyway, so why should taxpayers face all the risk and none of the reward.

  >so why should taxpayers face all the risk and none of the reward. Simple, bail the companies out (thus saving all the jobs), but wipe out (or significantly dilute) existing shareholders.

    The problem then comes (regrettably) when national/regional/local government next tries to get another round of capital-intensive fixed investment form the captains of industry. They find themselves talking to themselves for the money. They hate that.
