We are in dangerous territory folks. The “Market” by now has learned that they can get our political Elite to do anything they want if they scream loudly enough. This does not bode well for the future. We have become so fixated on the economy and obsessed with prevening a recession that we are willing to spend hundreds of billions of dollars. And we are giving it to the same set of genuiuses who have pissed away our fortune and outsourced our manufacturing capability over the last 25+ years. These “Masters of the Universe” need to be flushed and replaced with an untainted set of leaders.
I know there are many Freepers who (honestly) think the bailout package is a necessity. However, I fear the precedent it sets will ultimately make the cure worse than the disease.

EXCELLENT point, exactly right; and/but you’ve left out the part about completely throwing over the Constitution, the explicit ratification of all-encompassing socialism, and creating a de facto fourth branch of the government in the form of the Treasury dept with unlimited, non-reviewable power.
