Just saying, but if it was such an emergency, and they had the extra time it took Congress to hammer it out, why isn’t it implemented yet? Did they not have a plan in place of how to implement it? Or was it because Paulson hoped that they’d adopt the original plan, with no oversight, and he’d bee the “grand pooh-bah” and be able to dole it out faster?
I don’t believe this is something that is easily targeted. Devising a game plan and implementing it will be tricky.
Your comments about setting up a game plan early may have merit. It may also have been something they couldn’t do legally until Congress and the President approved of it.
I suspect initial moves will take place next week. Those moves would have taken place this week, if our leaders had worked more quickly to approve the bill.
Some of this is my gut opinion, and not backed solidly by something I can remember reading or hearing.
