A Big U.S. Injection Into the Banks

"If the bailout works, maybe we can get over the Ronald Reagan culture that says the government is the problem and have the private sector and Washington work as a team.

Unless the Republicans stop saying the government is in the way and the Democrats continue being petrified to stand up for government’s part, it will be very difficult for this economy to stop financial collapses from happening more often."
