Itstarted, I appreciate you providing that background.

Watching the news there was an interview of Secy. Paulson. When asked if the bailout proposal would work, he responded "it has to work." It was clear he wasn't saying there is no doubt it would work but rather that we are in deep shite if it doesn't.

Since I doubt it will work except in the short term, anyone care to chime in on what happens if 6 months from now it becomes clear this isn't working?
