I hate to blame it all on the media because GWB and Hank Paulson got this ball rolling.

George Bush: “We need this bailout NOW or the financial markets will seize up.”

Hank Paulson: “If we don’t get this bailout approved we will be in a depression.”

A week goes by…another week goes by…banks are still lending…that $700BN is still sitting in the Treasury Department’s checking account…banks are still lending…
