I think I figured this out. The investing public is terrified that things will take a normal and expected course. Anything short of the totally miraculous is a disappointment. Here is what Bernanke should have said: "Secretary Paulson and I have negotiated with the Chinese, the Japanese, and several other governments, and they have all agreed to forgive all indebtedness on the part of the United States. On top of that, they have agreed to buy and write off 50% of all remaining outstanding debt of the United States. The United Nations has agreed to assess its membership an amount equal to the current government deficit of the United States and pay that into the treasury of the United States each year. Further advantageous arrangements are pending."
