And I do like that "discount window funds from central banks could come with strings attached: essentially forcing some percentage of those funds to be onlent in the interbank market." a sorta, "we'll throw you a line, in exchange for "X" portion MUST be interbank. A not-so-subtle kick in the pants, before we will have to get the Tin Man out here with his oil can. ]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 21:44:04 -0400

All this finger pointing makes me ill. Look, BOTH presidential candidates had/have ties to a myriad of agencies, people, entities, who had a hand in the making of the current situation. No reasonably intelligent person can say that this whole crisis was "unforseeable"....many people saw it coming, and, as the author of this article states, much of the momentum was provided by brokers who decided to ride the gravy train and then leap off at the last second. Collectively, we are ALL responsible for this, and collectively, we all have to swallow the dern medicine and recover. Face the facts and get on with things, already. ]]> Sun, 05 Oct 2008 10:58:36 -0400

What matters to me is what, if anything, has been changed or hopefully improved in this "new" bill. Who the hell has time to read 400-some pages? Who, besides an attorney, could understand it? 100 pages was bad enough, and the old bill's language was totally unacceptable. Hopefully the House reps got to read it, or maybe their flunkies, overnight. Maybe they will delay the vote so they can do further consideration.....but wait! That would make too much sense.
