Attention Republicans: Stop being corporatists. WEEEEEE!
I think the "punishment" should fit the "crime."
The fine should be equivalent to the damage created IN ADDITION to the parties responsible having to pay for the damages.
That can end up with very expensive lawyers, but that's the fairest way AND acts as a deterrent.
There should be a floor limit on the fine, of course. The limit should be $250 million, now, with yearly inflation being applied for every subsequent year. That way, the $250 million fine "stings" every bit as much, later, as it does now. (PLEASE, no one point out that the value of the dollar's purchasing power can change, almost independent of inflation, at times. It will ruin my point, damnit!)
