I don't have a way to re-read my posts. I opposed the bailout as it was first proposed. I was OK with the final version. But I'm still not impressed by Bernanke, and I still think Geithner was a bad selection and should be replaced. As I recall, the thing that made me maddest was the bailout of AIG, and I said then that it looked like a backdoor way to make Goldman Sachs whole. This is now known to be exactly what happened. Bernanke and Paulson put that together. Is this your personal philosophy or is it shared by others? I don't have a rigid philosophy when it comes to the economy. Different times call for different solutions, and sometimes those solutions cross idealogical lines.
