RW, > Why do you think Fed and Treasury panicked? Every recession is "different." The one in the early 90's was different. The one in 2001 was different. Fear of the unknown leads to panic. Kind of like the swine flu, which isn't turning out to be any more deadly than the normal flu. Doesn't mean you ignore the problem, but it does mean that cooler heads should prevail. Let me ask you this. If you're fine with a budget that is quickly growing from $3T to $4T, ask yourself if you can afford a 33% increase in your own taxes. Better yet, ask your employees the same question. Tenchusatsu
