Can Investor Sentiment Be Rescued?

anyone have a mathematical analysis of this?
The Paulson Doctrine: An Uncertain Prescriptive for Uncertain Times
that's fine i guess but is there anyone out there whose remit is to look after the US taxpayer.
i'm not feeling very looked after right now.
paulson is not an elected representative so by US tradition he can look after his own personal interests, bail out his pals and represent the lobbyists who throw money at the republican party.
but where are our elected representatives in all of this?
oops i guess they've been paid off (see the above), isn't that how they raised the funds to get elected in the first place?
just one question: how many trillions will paulson and bernanke be able to give away to their pals on wall street before foreigners loss of confidence in the $, the treasury bond and the US balance sheet creates the huge sucking sound of dollar decline and interest rate expansion.
how rapidly and to what level will US debt be downgraded?

look out below.
and oh yes, are there enough lobbying $s to pay off china, japan et al and convince them to keep buying our treasuries.....?
or do we have a better idea than bribing government decision makers to keep wall street afloat?
pray tell.....

6 Reasons the Market Should Bounce Here
is
"what is the next support level under 1225--1250?"
the most telling verbiage in this entire "article" is the repetition of "i am hoping..." in its final paragraph, which pretty much sums up the rather feeble argument(s).
judging by the tenor of articles on this and other sites over the weekend it would seem that a lot of people rushed in to "buy stocks on sale!" last week and the margin clerks are now getting ready to sell them out this week. there is money on the sidelines and short covering to come of course, and that will provoke a "vicious" rally for bears--question is where will that rally start?
the answer will require a more realistic estimate of 2008 profits than we currently have--perhaps that downward revision of profit estimates will revalidate the "fed model" after all!
what's really needed is not yet more $100 bills but for the air to be taken out of debt laden personal, corporate and federal balance sheets as the whole country has been living on borrowed money for so long that it's forgotten you have to pay it back one day. what a brilliant idea for companies to leverage themselves up to buy back stock! as brilliant as taking all of the bubblicious equity out of your house to buy made in china crap. or printing treasury debt iou's to fund "the deficit" because it is the right of our fair nation to have one in perpetuity.
but what happens to all that paper if gdp declines--same thing as when house values collapse--or company profits fall below the levels needed to service their debt--the holders of that debt get nervous and want to get their money back. perhaps that's why the 30 year T-Bond future closed at the pretty much the same price last friday as it did last tuesday--while the dow went down over 400 points over the same period--a very early hint of another interesting "de-coupling"... perhaps the idea of hanging around til 2038 to see how solvent the grand old US of A turns out to be won't be shaping up as the archetypal flight to safety in the next few weeks?
The Economic Stimulus Plan: Short-Term Solution, Long-Term Problem
mr. market (good for him!) is making a stand and demanding that--and we the people need to hear it, so we can make an informed decision as to who should be running our country.
