yes, and as the gov't here,and abroad, continues to intervene in the markets the outcome will be assuredly much worse. Here is an interesting point I read in some commentary regarding the FED... Also, it is well within the Fed's appointed duties to provide special on-demand financing to both organizations and individuals at the discount window. Banks are not the only possible recipients. If it can be proven a risk to the security of the economy, virtually anyone may use the discount window to secure funding. The purpose to which the funds are applied -- corporate share buybacks, for instance -- may or may not require an explanation. A measure of this type of borrowing is released, as are others, only on a delayed basis.
