especially with your caps lock on.

I have a couple of issues I'd like to raise.

1. You said:

THEY GAVE THEM A PHONY THREAT OF MARTIAL LAW

Who is the "they" in your sentence? How and when did they make this "threat of martial law"?

2. What does it mean to "stabilize the economy"? I can think of a few different things that that might mean. What precisely was the bailout in question billed as doing that it never needed to do? What do you have to say about the point that Silent3 made elsewhere, regarding the fact that once a disaster has been averted, anyone can say that there was no risk of disaster at all? Many competent economists explained why some bailout was necessary. Can you explain whey they were wrong? Don't be afraid to get technical--I was an econ major.
