What a week! I am nearly speechless. Looks like the fed has at least doubled our massive budget deficit in a week. Oh, the markets are happy now, but at what cost? And what about the timing of this RTC style bailout? If they had come up with this bright idea a week ago, they could have saved 2 major investment banks and tens of thousands of jobs. Instead we have a massive consolidation and then nationalize the risk of the remaining players. Amazing!
