[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]…this is the government’s way of attempting a “soft landing” in terms of market valuation on those toxic assets.[/quote]
If I were not a cynic, Allan, I would believe this. My cynical side says that what’s really going on is redirecting the consequences of bad actions from the principal orchestraters and beneficiaries to the innocent bystanders. In other words, my cynical side tells me the soft landing is marketed as a rescue for us all, but it’s really a smokescreen for a painless escape by the primary perpretators.
