if the bailout goes through, i think this will go down as the biggest scam in history, money is being created out of thin air to put a band-aid on the economy and each individual american is effectively going to pay over $4500 out of their pockets to get it done. if i didn't know any better i'd say someone is trying to destroy the dollar

Yes, the bail-out is a band-aid solution that addresses the symptom not the cause.

Bad debt has created a situation now where banks are not lending money to one another in fear of insolvency. Which is justifiable, because there it is more than justified for a bank to fear whether or not it will actually receive its money. Banks leverage money. That is what they do, and how do you balance an added risk, you increase interest rates. So, now, we see interest rates for loans going up, mortgages, which decreases the demand for commodities as people hold onto their money a bit more tight, banks not lending money as much (which is how they make money) and markets reacting to investor emotions.

the only crisis the USA should be stuck in would be this one..

Bank of Canada injects cash to thaw frozen credit OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada is injecting an additional $4-billion into short-term money markets as a means to thaw the flow of credit, which has essentially frozen around the world. The intervention comes in the form of 28-day money which will be auctioned on Wednesday “in light of increased pressures in term lending markets,” the Bank of Canada said in a statement. “The Bank will continue to provide additional term liquidity as long as conditions in financial markets warrant,” the statement said. The Bank also announced that it would try to offset the balance-sheet effects of the intervention by selling $4-billion from its holdings of treasury bills. ...

So some good news for business operations here in Canada. I guess this has helped to spur the 400 point increase in the TSX today.
