If the market crashes, Obama will be the next president. Count on the drive-bys to lead the voting heard in that direction. Add to that a Democrat congress and we'll have wall-to-wall Democrats writing trillion dollar "blank checks" as far as the eye can see. Just sayin', "yours" won't be left "alone" no matter which road we take on this.

I reject your premise which hapens to be the following: To defeat socialism we must become socialists.

I didn't offer any bail-out solution. As I said, I'm "just sayin'" what will probably happen here.

You're a smart guy, think it through a bit. There's no need to accept legislation that makes the SecTreasury the King of America. There are better solutions more in tune with conservative principles and free market capitalism. There is no need to drink the socialist tea and like it.

Oh of course there are better solutions than what the SOT wants. Now look at our majority Democrat Congress, look at our traitorous media and look at the Democrat fraud Obama running for president. This is exactly what they wanted.

You are a smart guy too, so think it through. What do you think is going to happen?

This crisis is not about the stock market, it is about the Fixed income market! There are some people who work on the street that are Bond traders not equity traders. Right now as of today some primary dealers cannot meet T_Bill obligations, because that is the only thing people and institutions are buying and hording, all other paper is not trading, including commercial paper, overnight paper, etc!!! this will kill the money markets.. State Street and BK-Mellon are under a huge squeeze right now, as the main Money market trustees on the street!

I think the Republicans have the upper hand. I think that because liberals, moderates and conservatives alike are loathe to give a blank check to Wall Street which opens up opportunities for smart republicans like Eric Cantor to put together a package that will attract democrats and McCain. McCain will be the salesman in chief. There is no need to give the socialists a blank check. The financial markets can not be made whole but Cantor and cohorts can devise a plan to get liquidity back into the market with a minimum of socializing losses and without giving anybody a blank check good for a trillion or two.
