A weekend ponder

Why is it that one major hit of the skids in the US of a more capitalistic system immediately engenders howls of "capitalism is dead", "laissez-faire is over", "markets have failed" and "we need a new economic system, NOW!"?

Our more socialistic brothers and sisters have been on the skids for years, yet no vitriolic banshee calls for scrapping that system. If anything, calls for an even deeper version of socialism.

Why is that?
