    You know, even though in general there were a lot of mistakes that led us here, and a lot of things I would generally disagree with in principle... I think thus far the government has done a pretty good job of managing this mess.

    A one day jump of 400 of irrational exubarance doesn't mean the economy is fine.

    It's not a problem that money can't cure. It's not like we have to pay it back or anything.

    The "plan" is not out yet, but it's going to involve stability measures from the Federal Reserve of some sort that will avoid panicked selling of all the large financial institutions. When markets behave irrationally, one of the functions of the central bank is to maintain order in the system.

    So the wonderful fed reserve is gonna save us all? Funny considering that it's the fed who fucked the economy in the first place.

    What we should do is let the failing companies fail, make the companies make their operations improve or die. Our government has to stop with this socialism and putting money into companies which it doesn't have. The US Government is bankrupt. I'm honestly disgusted at what has happened in the past week.

    the Fed was behind the curve in cutting rates but saying that they fucked the economy is patently false.

    Republican answers with Democrat negativity! Pretty ironic post considering you've been pretty clear about who you were planning on voting for.
