[what's up]

Obviously, it's easy to say the Gov't should be less involved in stuff and I hugely with that the vast majority of the time.

However, the alternative this week was Wall Street firms crashing, then big banks going down, then runs on your local bank.

And following would be huge unemployment.

The paradox and wonderful thing is, even the announcement of the plan has gotten money moving again...thank God. They have bought some time and given our financial system hope. But if we near the same crisis the plan must be implemented.

“even the announcement of the plan has gotten money moving again”

That’s what’s meant by our money being backed by the “faith & trust”... once a critical mass o the population don’t have faith and trust in the system, the system implodes.
