The Bumpy Ride Ahead

Custer's assesment at Little Big Horn was flawed although the "facts" were there for the finding. He might have chosen differently if he looked at "all his cards"
Captain Smith's (Titanic) assessement was also "flawed" in the fact he put personal greed in front of "the facts"

. . . . list goes on. . .
My point is that if "all considerations" (which I trust the "experts" (insert list of reputable sources) can be brought to bear on this "battle", that maybe the analysis won't be that flawed and that we have grown as a country.
CNBC/ etc can make the fact a spider crawled across the floor into something to disect and analyze with anyone for hours. . . .its sensationalizim and it attracts viewers/ad revenue. I've always found if you put 100 economists in a room and hash this proposal out that if you were like Ronald Regan (God Bless his soul) you could get a "feel" for what is the right thing to do.

I just remember when Jimmy Carter said to Fidel. . .send us your poor, tired, hungry and "we will give them shelter" and what is sent. . .and the problems it ensued.
This "bailout" is similiar but the "stuff" the US will take in has "some value" and be it over time, it may probably pay back be it may take a long time but I think it, like its predessors, will make money. I like the idea
