The President and Congress have stressed the urgency in bailing out the securities and banking industries for all the bad loans they have made. I can’t find any reasonably concise explanation of who made the loans, who holds the loans, and why the global economy will collapse if we don’t do something immediately. I checked congress.org and there is absolutely zero, other than a poll they are running that shows 90% of the respondents AGAINST the bailout.
This is clearly because no one is doing a very good job of explaining to the American people what the problem is, how we got here, and what are the ramifications of not letting market forces act naturally, which is the basic mantra of at least half of Congress (before this crisis).
