What Did Geithner Do Exactly?

Quote from Monkey Boy:

The plan is clearly not ready yet. It should not have been presented. Geithner's speech sounded like a plan that was drawn on a napkin at a bar last night.

Agreed.
But the fact remains that this process is gonna take a long, long time. Unfortunately, all too often the market is like a "two-year" old screaming for a candy bar from it's Momma.

tarp is buying assets because nobody in the market no entity has that kind of cash to buy it for that long term for such low returns or no returns.

Duh. There's a very good reason for that.

if free markets were to takes it's course you'll be seeing riots revolution 25% unemployment and you see communism.

banks failing etc. markets are corrupt anysways.

Except that the only countries we've ever seen that happen in is countries which behave the way the United states is behaving now. You and Karl Marx are still waiting for it to happen in a free market economy. Do us a favour and hold your breath until it happens.
