My Head is Spinning  I am on vacation this week, so blogging
will be light.  Just as well, as I have absolutely no idea where
to begin with the Federal plan to semi-nationalize the banking
industry.  I fear that the Bush administration has done it to us
again.  Economists will be poking through this situation years
from now, and may well find the bunkers empty of WMD's.  Another
trillion dollar commitment and unprecedented expansion of
executive power ramrodded on the back of fear mongering and
chicken-little crisis declaration.  Henry Paulson screams to the
world that the sky is falling, and then wonders why he can't
stop the panicked stampede.  The Fed breaks the discount window
wide open and promises to lend and recieve near infinite amounts
of bank funds, and then wonders why banks have stopped lending
to each other and only will do business with the Fed.    • Flash
Gordon      Bush can't be gone soon enough. Not that what we'll
get after that will be any better.    • Krugman - Leftist
