Never thought I'd say this, but I would rather see the Fed loan to the businesses who can't get credit, directly.

If the middlemen don't want to play any more, they can stay off the field.

I’d rather see that than the government buying their bad, unvaluable, mortgages.

However, I’d rather they buy stocks and bonds, which they later sell, than buy bad mortgages, which is what they were expecting to do with the $700 billion.
