That and the Official Notice of the program from Treasury is proof positive of the date of the meltdown, September 18, 2008.You keep pushing that it happened on the 18th when even the article which you later linked (Money market breaks the buck, freezes redemptions ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2008) which I even snipped in my reply says...
The size and speed of the withdrawals was stunning. At 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Primary Fund's assets stood at $23 billion, a $40 billion hit from the $62.6 billion in the fund on Friday, a spokeswoman for The Reserve told MarketWatch late Tuesday.
That's the 16th, not the 18th.
Pardon me while I snicker.

I am pleased thst you are learning that the actual date of the meltdown that Congressman Kanjorski referred to in his CSPAN interview was September 18, 2008. It was not September 11, 2008 as the Atlas Shrugs article states.
She should pull or correct and rewrite that article.
P.S.: Glad you are learning about the Reserve Fund breaking the buck. Isn't Free Republic a great place to learn facts!
