It’s gut check time.
The attempt by Treasury Secretary Paulson to put a gun to the head of Congress and terrify them into forking over a $700 billion blank check to the Bush administration in 48 hours has failed. Now what?
Most Americans would just as soon the [...]

Congress Is Resisting the Bailout Plan Now, But Wall Street Will Do Anything to Get Its Way

By Nomi Prins,
After a day of debate, a few bumps in the road to passing Paulson’s $700 billion bailout package emerged. Paulson and Bernanke want a rush job. Democrats want more oversight and Main Street oriented provisions. Republicans [...]

Goldman Saks Socialism

Published in Commentary, General Interest, Legislation, News

Wall Street put a gun to the head of the politicians and said, Give us the money–right now–or take the blame for whatever follows. The audacity of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s bailout proposal is reflected in what it refuses to say: no explanations of how the bailout will work, no demands on the bankers in [...]

Financial-market wise guys, who had been seized with fear, are suddenly drunk with hope.

For the first time in this unfolding financial crisis, I felt personally scared by the news. Not about my money, but about the potential for catastrophe.
