Business as usual. It's beginning to look increasingly like 'change' is a rhetorical tool rather than a mission, but maybe if the new administration bails out enough average folk with enough of their own tax dollars nobody will care. Pity.

Of course, the creative misuse of words by politicians is not a purely American phenomenon. It's only within the last few weeks that Gordon Brown has stopped parroting at every opportunity that Britain's economy is "fundamentally strong". Everything's getting devalued thses days - currencies, assets, words.
