It's all academic at this point anyways.

The one thing those of you who don't like what's being done have going for you is that if it doesn't work, the people responsible for implementing it will get kicked to the curb in 2010 and 2012, likely for people who are their opposites, philosophically speaking.

If it does work, then we'll all be better off and all you'll have to do is eat some crow.

FWIW, I didn't like the "bailout" either....and people are using that word for everything. Don't confuse the $700 billion bank bailout with this stimulus package....they are two totally different things.
One was supposed to help the credit markets....the second is to create jobs and demand in the economy.
The first is something we'd never done before....the second is something that has worked in the past.
