I dont think everything they are going is attempting to slow the reversion to the mean. I think half of what they are doing is that. I think the other half is just nonsense to attempt to be seen as if they are doing something. If nobody saw it coming, and no one could stop it, no one is to blaim. If they had seen it coming, and knew how to stop it, then they would be held responsible and tossed from office.

I forgot to add this as also being part of Obama’s economic/political calculus in my original reply, though my reply was already too wordy. I am OK with some mainly symbolic measures that will waste money. After all public confidence also affect the downside velocity and how soon we come out of it. Your tolerances may vary.
