A recent scientific study was recently released by a noted psychologist. This study involved 15 Yale PhD students against a mouse in making decisions. The Yale minds always "over-thought" the problem and were right 52-59% of the time. The mouse was correct 67% of the time.

Greenspan is justifying his "correct" decision. Unfortunately for the citizens, decisions could have been made to prevent or mitigate much of the economic mess. It was obvious to us mice, when homes were zooming ahead much too quickly. ]]> Wed, 11 Mar 2009 17:54:46 -0400

The Board of Directors is replaced by government selected individuals.
2. All management contract are re-negotiated and salary is based on performance.
3. A new company is formed with new (fair) labor agreements
4. The mandate is for an auto to be manufactured for under $10,000 that achieves at least 35mpg.
5. tax incentives for reaching these goals.
6. tax incentives for citizens to purchase these vehicles and selling low mgp vehicles.
7. production of natural gas vehicles

My initial plan as outlined 2 years ago can be enacted as a large infrastructure play:
1. Provide rapid rail service between large cities
2. Provide Smart Car rental at each rail hub at low rates
3. tax incentive to sell the gas guzzler and purchase a high (35-45mpg) vehicle.

I have been listening to quite a few financial geniuses that have predicted current events back 2-3 years ago, some well before. I'm no scholar but even I knew something was amiss when I first heard about off-balance sheet accounts, CDO's, and credit default swaps years and years ago. In history, this period will be compared to the great depression.
