It is going to be bad... but you already know that I know this... but the Free Market is stronger than some think... and government intervention will only make things worse. Chemo and radiation will damn near kill you... but it will save your life in the long run... many times... Bush has just prolonged the inevitable... I say let the Free Market correct itself and kill off the bad cells the way Free markets do. All we need to do is look back on fdr and steer 180 degrees to starboard.

I think what Bush and Cheney are saying is that this is a “life support” situation and normal measures won’t cut it. And in that regard, I tend to agree. I’m just surprised to see both Bush and Cheney just come right out and say it (I posted a “Cheney piece” elsewhere...).
I think it’s *commendable* that they are not mincing words and making it very clear *how serious it is* — and for them to say this — it means that it’s *very, very serious* indeed...
