    Repeal Sarbanes Oxley and the stringent mark to market rule and this problem would fix itself. There are some influential people advising this, but as you can hear, none of the Congresscritter are talking about it. Not sexy enough, no power involved, no money to throw around. Reply

    It's my limited understanding that credit (loans to industry/citizens) will shrink to unsustainable levels for the economy if the Congress doesn't fund the Paulson/Bernanke tag team proposal. Major lenders/investors will go bankrupt and their assets sold off to the private sector. Is this correct so far?

    Now, I believe the US treasury will still have the capacity to print inflated fiat dollars, unlike the depression of the '30's which limited the printing due to the gold standard. So inflation will rise, but money will still be available to the rest of the lenders who are not part of the problem. That means regional banks as an example, through their state charters potentially could receive federal treasury loans to offer to industry/citizens.

    I am suggesting all is not loss for the world economy due to a credit 'freeze', but only that high profile financial companies will suffer the consequences of their own actions.

    I would like to explore this scenario, if only to educated myself as to other options the Congress could consider instead of trusting what the former CEO of Goldman Sachs is saying.     Reply

    POCKYCLIPS said it: If companies get to big to fail, then there should be limits on how big a company should get.

    When they get to the size of Freddie and Fannie they are too big to help.     Reply

    So Bernanke and Paulson are worried about recession. Since when was recession such a bad thing? Are these two guys not capitalists? The economy needs to fluctuate through cycles in order to grow. We can't have periods of growth without the recessions that precede them. A recession should be welcomed because the only way out of this joint is to pay our tab. Reply

    Kudos to Axelrod...well said and fully agree with his proposal. Protect the honest, hardworking, ethical...penailze the greedy Wall Street crooks and the stupid, overextended on the other end. Those of us in the middle, the majority of honest, hardworking, rationale Americans, should not have to pay for greed or stupidity. Reply

    "John McCain's campaign manager and Freddie Mac essentially had what amounts to a secret half a million dollar lay-a-way plan. For almost three years and as late as last month, Freddie Mac made secret, monthly payments of $15,000 to Rick Davis's firm, apparently in exchange for providing special access to a future McCain White House. If McCain knew about this, his presidential campaign should be in serious trouble. If he didn't know about it, he ought to fire Rick Davis immediately," said David Donnelly, Director of Campaign Money Watch.

    Watching the hearings on the bailout has me very worried! Not only are the idiots who got us in this mess, not being open and forthright about how much they need but also what they need it for[other than to save the present system that is on the brink of collapse]. Then they say this will not guarentee that. They do not say who is being saved and adamently refuse to answer what is being saved,because that secretsy will help ensure success. If this gets approved we deserve everything that this ensures will be eventually come tumbling down our way. This just helps the present system to bail out our foreign holders of our worthless debt at the expense of the american taxpayer. HOW MUCH LONGER CAN WE IN GOOD FAITH SCREW OVER OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS FOR THE BENIFITS OF US AT THE PRESENT? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! Reply

    Don't you find it typical AND despicable, that Sen. Dodd, recipient of $133,900 Fannie and Freddie lobbies dollars from 89-08, and Chairman of the Senate finance committee, would not let the 2005 oversight reform bill pass in the Senate? And here is is now demanding an investigation into why all this happened? Dick Morris' book "Outrage" has a very nice write up on this. McCain expressed concern re FNM and FRE in early 06 and wanted more oversight. the Dems are simply insane. Reply

    The seizing of the markets the previous week were the worst I have seen in the last 25 years of being an investment professional. While I still expect the market to continue to fall, the folly of not providing a bailout will be greater. We must learn from the depression that metting out punishment will lead to empty satisfaction. Reply
