And a while back I heard someone say that there was a lot of capital just waiting on the sidelines for a good moment. Maybe now is it.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, I am totally pissed off that Congress' plan to issue the funds in increments is being poopooed. That makes me very suspicious. $250 bil isn't small change. I think that is a wise way to go about doing things. The fact that the White House is claiming that this won't "save" the system makes me very suspicious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-7874549567397940432008-09-25T20:48:00.000-07:002008-09-25T20:48:00.000-07:00When I heard Bush's speech I must admit my first r...When I heard Bush's speech I must admit my first reaction was to not believe him, and I wondered if he had cried wolf too many times.<BR/><BR/>I can understand the desire to ensure the system does not seize up, which was my initial impression of certain companies were being nationalised. But seizing up does not include propping up. Years ago (late 80s) in Australia former Treasurer and later Prime Minister Paul Keating was ridiculed for the statement "This is the recession Australia had to have." Maybe you/we face this now.<BR/><BR/>Recently I saw an interview with Paul Keating -- prior to Howard losing government in Australia -- where he was asked about how fiscally responsible the incumbent government has been. He commented that yes they had gotten public debt down to 15% of GDP, but had done nothing about the "elephant under the carpet" in the huge private debt. Now I'm more worried about the elephant graveyard the US has lurking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-58966519723702202362008-09-25T15:08:00.000-07:002008-09-25T15:08:00.000-07:00It will not help Obama to play ball with all of it...It will not help Obama to play ball with all of it.The Law Talking Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886791396468512490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-75297406448267862642008-09-25T13:58:00.000-07:002008-09-25T13:58:00.000-07:00I guess that's where I stand now too.

I sure as hell haven't heard any reason why Paulson should be given complete control over disbursement without any Congressional oversight.Raised By Republicanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461006522141969925noreply@blogger.com
