but they won't. Four years ago I recommended nationalizing (read: seizing; same as what just happened) the GSEs and using them to issue new paper (read: bank loans) in the form of low interest loans for the nations housing... low interest in the form of simple interest. You could turn this nation upside right doing that; but Paulson will screw the nation and feed us to Wall Street; everyone knows that, that's why Wall Street rallied. After they whoop it up knowing they are in line for more candy, the street rememberred that it was also going to hurt the economy in the process, so they corrected. But, it would be so easy to do the right thing... if only we had one honest man in power right now.
