Kerry and John discuss - News from China says that the world's largest aluminum producer, China Hongqiao Group, is on the brink of insolvency. This is a company that's nearly twice the size of Alcoa.

The company is begging for a government bailout to avoid civil unrest. Have we reached the point where everything is too big to fail? Perhaps, but then eventually the party that bails everyone out will wind up failing as well. Get set and buckle your seatbelt for that day may soon be upon us.
