Of course that is the flaw in the ointment. It depends on people and the government getting ever deeper into debt. Little joe

The credit markets are indeed frozen right now, but that does not mean the Bernanke-Paulson plan is the way to deal with this.

People will not use it to pay debts back, but view it as an excellent opportunity to leverage and add more debt. It will fail through and through, with the minority doing what you are proposing. If it was forced debt payback; ie. cutting them out of the picture and direct debt payback then the majority of people would just quickly add back to that debt level over the coming months until they reach their debt ceiling. To think that people are generally wise and good woefully ignore both sides of the equation that brought about this mess.
