Yep. Obama honeymoon ends if he fails with zad. -g- FWIW, the process of reform is always difficult, cause, unlike many conspiracy theorists think, nobody controls the damn thing. In fact, nobody even has a clue what to do. So, the process just stumbles along in trial and error. But it goes on. -g- If smarter things are done during this process, the country recovers faster from the crisis. If not, it falls deeper and deeper into it. At least "they" understand well now what needs to be done in general, but there will be wrong steps along the way.

I guess, conspiracy theorists will never get the "bummer!" part. The Fed started paying interest on reserves, reserves piled up, leading to major TIGHTENING in early October. Markets crashed. The dollar soared. No, the Fed did not mean that. They also did not mean to crash the markets when they banned shorts. So, when the shorts returned, they crashed the markets. Another bummer! -g- Some folks think the PPT controls stuff. No. It is virtually impossible. They would need to sit 24/7 and monitor 5000 global markets or so. They injected liquidity, and computers engaged in "return to the mean". And then computers short circuited -g-
