Well, then I guess we should have just DEFAULTED on all U.S. debt paper, including Treasuries.

Because if we had just let AIG and the other banks go down the drain it would have amounted to just that.

We would have been a VERY BIG Iceland.

They ARE going to make "structural changes", but first they have to keep the ship afloat.

We're still just treading water here. We have "ARM resets" coming and "credit card defaults" coming and "commercial paper defaults" coming.

The Country and the World is just trying to keep their heads above the water right now. With much lower tax revenues, and trillion dollar stimulus plans we're looking at a $1.5 Trillion deficit next year. BUT, even "conservative" economists aren't balking about the spending.

THAT should tell you a LOT.
