As to your 2nd comment - it really doesn't even merit a response. It completely lacks logic and common sense. Would you recommend someone jumping off a toll building without a parachute and try to fly? After all, it's "has never been done before, and doesn't automatically imply that it is doomed to fail"
And furthermore, it's clear that you haven't comprehended a single thing I wrote. Yes, we should have let the banks fail. And in fact we did. Do the names Bear Stearns and Merril Lynch ring a bell? And yes, this would have caused temporary hardship and increase in unemployment. But his is unavoidable in a capitalist system as ours - the socialist alternative is much worse. It dooms us to stagnation and malaise.
And we do offer an alternative - an alternative that if fact DID WORK in the past. So your logic amounts to "let's try something that may or may not work instead of something that we know has worked in the past." BRILLIANT !!!!
