Not at all, but I don't think they're even on the right track.

I think we would be in VERY, VERY serious trouble right now, if the actions that have taken place hadn't. You have to stop the patient from dying before you can make him well again. We were facing economic Armageddon. Still are.

There is no script for this, it's unprecedented. These guys are sincerely trying to keep us from falling into a depression, which is something few alive have experienced, but I'm old enough to have heard the stories. It's pure ugly, as bad as it gets.

So let's not dump on them in 9 weeks or whatever it is. Obama, from his rhetoric is looking for long term solutions. You don't get that in 9 weeks; instant gratification is so 2006.

If they start playing musical chairs cause folks are panicking we will be in a world of hurt. We have to give them time...

"Not at all, but I don't think they're even on the right track."

I think they're trying to prop up a corrupt financial system that SHOULD collapse. But, I'm kind of an anarchist.

I'd have much rather they just let them all go bankrupt, then deal with the creditors according to the harm they could do us.
Maybe pay the Chinese, stiff the Dubai's, etc.
