  The Paulson plan is window dressing. It is the Congress who has the authority to create and regulate the currency and credit, not the Executinve (Treausry); though clearly the treasury enforces the rules.
  
  Look, we (the taxpayer) are going to pay for whatever mess the banks get themselves into, all ni the name of "stability". We have the resopnsibility. The constitution also gives us the authority (through our representatives). We need congress to retake the Fed and reorganize/replace or otherwise develop a better more accountable system.

  I saw GWBush throw the first pitch in baseball on youtube to a stadium full of intense boos. He just smiled and waved like it was actually cheers. It is a typical glimpse of his approach to our countrys problems. I hate that glassy-eyed geezer. He's not hurting for grocery money; why should he care that we are? Helpless and hopeless... not the America I want for my kids. Oh yeah, voting only hurts because it gives the illusion people can make changes... all it does is move the clock down the road a ways... pfffft
