Lehman: A Damned Shame

Macro Man, I'm from the government and I am here to help.

Today, I am announcing a plan to lower your credit card interest rates to 0%, indefinitely. Hopefully (a key component of any bailout), this will motivate you to acquire even more TV cabinets, thus taking up excess supply.
Hoping (again), actioning on this crucial (everything is crucial in America) measure will rectify the supply imbalance, creating demand for your item.
At that point, you can sell into a rapidly inflating market, recoup your losses, and normalcy will return to the market.

CNBC has stated the short sellers have caused this.

You're welcome.
