To be fair, this isn't very constructive.

I would argue, it's enormously constructive. The White House is running around screaming, "Wolf! Wolf!" AGAIN! Having listened to W last night, it's plain, he didn't have a damn clue what the hell he was saying, and that version was boiled down to the point of Gerber Strained Carrots. Handing them a check for $700 Billion would be like walking up to Jason in a Friday the 13th movie and saying, "no no no, you don't want the french knife, here, use the chainsaw, it's much more effective!"

We need people who know what they're talking about involved, Paulson and Bernanke are probably two of those guys since the government is involved, but thinking they should be the limit of that, which is exactly what these guys are arguing against, tells me I shouldn't be running for office, I should be selling bridges to gullible suckers.
