Ah.
The whole thing was retarded from the get-go. Wtf were they thinking? Did they really think that pumping more money into the economy would solve anything? Anyone who has taken any type of base macroeconomics class would know that the plan was flawed on so many levels from the beginning.

Money can solve almost anything
and nothing is RARE if you have the money

It's not about what is actually benefitial for the country, it's about making it look like they are trying to help, that's all. They need the perception to be, that they care for the country.

Money is nothing and everything in the economy. Pumping more money into the economy does not help, it harms. It causes the worth of the dollar to decrease.
Come on now. I learned why this is type of "fix" is wrong 3 years ago, in Beginning Macro.

I absolutely agree. However, I also think it is despicable on two levels.
1: That "they" would pull a blanket over our heads
2: That Americans, as a whole, are so uneducated that we cannot see the blanket.

yeah things have gone t*ts up for you guys. i find it amazing watching the news any one trusts these people in charge they talk the biggest load of bull its hard enough to keep up with what they are trying to say

I think people maymay be starting to see it, but the problem is, the people are already in power, and even more infuriating, some of the people who are heading this charge are not even elected officials, they are appointed.
yea we learn that money is not everything in macro but we also learn that these kind of crashes and bank failures cant happen in todays economy...so wtf is goin on now cause hte government is supposed to step in before now is what macro will tell you if you go soley of what you have learned in an econ class....thats what is so scary is that according to econ class this kinda of stuff was supposed to never et this far

*disclaimer* Do not take what I am about to write as an insult to you
Are you an econ major? Or did you just take base economics classes? The reason I ask is because I am an economics major, graduating in May. I have gone well beyond base economics classes, and in my Intermediate and Advanced Macro, as well as my Money and Banking classes, we were taught that these things do happen, even in "today's economy".
God I miss Greenspan.
