Brumar, > This whole crisis is an attempt to make Republicans agree to tax increases (that the Democrats wouldn't enact 7 months ago) to alienate the Republican base before the upcoming elections. It could also be interpreted as an attempt to tank the economy now as opposed to the time-honored tradition of putting it off until later. Because like it or not, too many Americans are dependent on government handouts. Like it or not, we're all Keynesians now. Of course, that's the folly of the Krugmanites who think we don't have enough Keynesian economics. Truth is, we have too much. Tenchusatsu
