The Observation Deck

I suppose I am not the first person to note the startling similarity between the current situation and the run-up to the Iraq war: on the basis of information that is, to put it mildly, "fuzzy" we are being asked to act dramatically or else face disaster.

the guys on the radio discussing the speech suggested the Bill that Bush pushes for will not be the bill he talked about on the radio. It will Let Paulson pay whatever Paulson wants for whichever "assets" (liabilities) Paulson wants.
Hank Paulson: MBA. George W. Bush: MBA.

what is important to remember is that the current failures on wall street are no fluke. they are exactly at the point they were headed for every time they pushed for "deregulation" and ran with it. they are at exactly at the point they were headed for everytime Bush said the economy was doing well.

It is similar to the way certain legislators said SUVs were good for the american auto industry because the profit margin on them was high.
