Roubini is for Geithner's plan? That's quite interesting.

I personally favor the "carrot and stick" approach for the banks. We gave them the carrot last year and that didn't work. Now it's time to beat them senseless with the stick. It can't hurt and even if it doesn't work everyone will feel better :o)

Interesting. Thanks.

I'm surprised Roubini is so positive on the plan.

Weak demand for a 34 billion treasury auction does not bode well for another 2 trillion needing to be sold this year.

I wish these economists would stop trying to talk like poets.

They get hooked on a metaphor when they should be using mathematics--at least arithmetic if not calculus.

I am beginning to think Roubini is just another example of someone who has been the victim of his own series of fortunate calls.
