Isn't this the plan that was originally proposed for the TARP and then squandered on bailouts. Now we have to come up with another 1/2 trillion dollars to start over. This sucks. Who the heck is paying for all of this. If the Treasury had done this to begin with, would we even be talking about a recession right now?

Geithner is doing a fine job even though he has the whole world on his back,

All these talking heads can do is criticize and complain with no answers. Let the man work so this economy can get fixed!

Unfortunately, I think this is a good move. It has taken a lot to get our housing market in the state in which we find ourselves. Now it will take a lot to get ourselves out of this mess. We also need to hold ourselves responsible.

I don't trust anything coming out of DC nowadays. Those democrats are not statesmen at all; they are all just poor politicians.

I've got a feeing the stocks are going to rally big tie today.

At some point in time ,the government is going to realize that trying to buy our way out of debt,is not going to work,the country is just deeper in debt.The Chinese government has even ask us to stop" blowing "our money,yes even the Chinese government is more than concerned,because of their investments in the US.It's a shame and scary when the communist know more about our economy and what to do than the Obama administration.

These banks are so to blame for this mess.

Hope it works, but who really knows. I thought monoplies were illegal? What is AIG? So big, so important, that we cannot let it go under. I still think this company should be allowed to collapse, put out of business, and for the ones that put us in this mess, well, maybe we could see them in a bread line!

What I find saddened is how the news media is trying to stoke anger amongst Americans by putting the label taxpayers money. Taxpayers money has been used for just about everything in America from war down to Medicare, so why all of a sudden they want to underline taxpayer money. It's to get people mad and revolt against anything the Obama administration tries to put forth to combat this recession.
I must say that is sad and it's a dangerous game to be playing!

Most American still wanna see some heads roll, and those can be upstairs or downstairs.

At last a positive solution. Everybody (aka republicans) are shouting
what NOT to do but cannot or will not come up with a better idea. Of course that would take away all their fun.

Another half-baked plan from Obama. The administration proposes punitive taxes on "the rich" then expects their "help". Don't expect the hedge funds to be a simpleton like the Obamabots.

Whatever works or might work, I say go for it! But then I'm sure the obstructionist Republicans will "just say no" since they don't any of them seem to know anything about economics...just their precious Repub Party and witch hunts. If they can't work on solutions soon, they can just kiss 2010 elections goodbye.

lol, round and round we go, where do we stop? Obama knows!

Go Obama! We are lucky to have a great president, after eight years of crooks and criminals.
