First… again – for the second or third time – previously I was discussing bank preferred TARP money. But you know this.
Second… again… I realize that you’re a stereotypically short-sighted and impatient American – and thus part of The Problem – but it would be nice to wait until perhaps the latter innings of the game to start discussing how things are progressing.
Finally, if there were an article stating that the TARP values were UP by $100 billion (pick a number), would I go out of my way to point that out here? Of course not. It would be absurd. We’re in the third inning of a nine inning game. We still don’t know how it’s going to turn out.
But that’s the difference between you and me. You’re more sure of everything – with no basis for such certainty – than I am of anything. Which makes you quintessentially American.
