I do think some kind of high level, bi-partisan, economic experts commission is needed. Where to find people who have the knowledge, gravitas, independence from the mess??? Watched the committee hearings today. I'm sorry but the political posturing and pontificating is about as helpful as hornets at a picnic.jangleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562164166132990166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-65176237627934892642008-09-23T09:14:00.000-07:002008-09-23T09:14:00.000-07:00Apparently the government is not willing to let ca...Apparently the government is not willing to let capitalism take its course and the firms take the necessary market corrections. So if we're going to bail out someone and the underlying problem is mortgage-based assets then I'd rather see the government buy up part of the mortgages to get people out from under rather than buying up the assets. It seems to me - in my financial ignorance - that if the system is anything approaching rational (which it may not be) buying up mortgages should result in trickle-up easing of liquidity for the m-b assets since the underlying value - real estate and mortgages - will be back in synch with reality.<BR/><BR/>I call my plan <A HREF="http://firebrandblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/bub.html" REL="nofollow">BUB</A> - Bottom-Up Bailout. (I considered "PITS" for "Pie In The Sky" but decided that was too defeatist.)Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594477709835944165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-36882484517407100092008-09-23T00:17:00.000-07:002008-09-23T00:17:00.000-07:00Clearly, the Democrats deal only with superficial ...Clearly, the Democrats deal only with superficial problems in Paulson's request. The details, which are still unspecified, are left for Paulson. <BR/><BR/>Nothing new here; this is their lack of spirit and goals. Obama is just another of those shallow, unprincipled lipstick Democrats.<BR/><BR/>How about demanding that the $700 billion be managed by an independent entity run by people such as Warren Buffet and Bill Gates?
