In other words, he's going to wreck the economy to save it. Brilliant - embracing socialism to save a free market. It's never worked before so why try it again?

Well, that’s not the perspective that the President and Vice-President have on the matter. That may be yours, but it’s not theirs. That’s obvious from what I read.
And, if I were to use that “analogy process” to once again explain the “viewpoint” that they are coming from — it would be that “on his own” the patient will die — and thus — not be productive anymore.
So, extreme measures must be taken that one would never take on a healthy patients. You only do so, for as long as necessary and until the patient is in such a condition to be able to be self-supporting and go back to work again, on their own.
In the meantime, there will be so many things that the patient can no longer do for themselves, in the meantime, while being assisted and in recuperating. Afterwards, the patient will gain his strength, be able to do for themselves, as before and be as productive as before.
NOW..., where you’re differing in this analogy, is that you’re saying (in “your analogy”, if you will) — that the “treatment” is actually going to kill the patient.
But, there you go..., that’s simply not the viewpoint of Bush and Cheney. They do not think that the treatment is going to kill the patient and that it’s necessary treatment.
In this, I have to back the President and Vice-President (who are the ones I voted for, too) in their assessment with the resources and computer models and financial experts that they have directly at their disposal.
And, I would seriously doubt anyone who would be trying to say that Bush and Cheney are actually trying, intentionally, to kill the patient... LOL...
