They told us it was for our own good

CAR this link is for people like you and me who believes there were alternatives in 2008 that could have been explored rather then the path we ended up taken.

Of course there were alternatives to the bailouts engineered by Paulson and approved by Bush.

But you can’t go back in time.

There were also alternatives to invading Afghanistan and Iraq. But we can’t change things retroactively.

Do you think Geithner won’t engineer the same bailouts and Obama won’t approve such bailout?

Geitner? In a heartbeat. Whether as a result of malevolence or ignorance, it doesn’t matter. (I think his history makes it pretty clear, his corruptness is exceeded only by his incompetence.) Obama, not so much. Though I see nothing on the horizon that would require any bailouts. The economy is not tanking. Growth has slowed to a trickle, but the only thing that continues to bleed is the unemployed worker. The financial bubbles burst years ago (with the exception of commodities, which slowly have receded from their mostly artificial highs). Nor are the government’s finances tanking. Hence the safety that the market migrated to was….the very asset that was recently downgraded.

Nothing happened.
