I wish more bloggers and commenters were as realistic as Karen Tumulty about what they know, what they understand and how they express their opinions.

On a different note, I have a couple of analogies that have some applicability to the current crisis.
1. In triage, first you stop the bleeding and then apply the sutures.
2. If a person with clogged arteries is having a heart attack, you first clear the arteries. Only then is it productive to address the causes, such as diet and lifestyle.
I am not in a position to provide the best road map for the current finacial crisis, but I will examine what is proposed by "experts" in the sense of the two analogies. If what is proposed can stabilize the patient, it should be evaluated. If what is proposed is aimed at the underlying causes, it should be postponed until actions are taken to be sure the patient doesn't die on the table before surgery starts.
