He probably supported a Dem all along.

What idiotic reactions we are seeing here, particularly from people who seem to have absolutely NO idea of what it’s about and believe that it’s no different from their household finances. Something had to be done, this is much better than the initial pass, and this hysteria is disgusting.

Yeah, I’m getting flamed for trying to be reasonable, but oh well. It doesn’t hurt. :)

How about the hysteria of a professional economist who suggested that perhaps this "freeze" is nothing more than

a. the people with the power to make it happen and

b. the people with the most to gain from the bailout are

c. holding a gun to the head of the government and the American people.

This was one of 150 economists who wrote an open letter to the president(?) saying to go slow with this bailout. You may be disgusted by "hysteria", but you know no better than these economists what the result of the bailout will be.

My "hysteria" is not so much the bailout. It's going to be a disaster, no matter what happens. It's the corrupt government that is no longer "of, by or for" the people. It needs to go.
