		<description><![CDATA[The word du jour right now is &#8220;rathole&#8221;, a rather ugly expletive that equates to plughole, drain, succubus, and other such unpleasantries. It may however be too polite a phrase for what is going on right now with the bailout of AIG, the government&#8217;s new pet project that looks like it&#8217;s going to hand the [...]]]></description>

Not only does the government end up propping up the most destructive derivative behavior around, but it does so while allowing AIG to maintain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frank Rich&#8217;s piece in today&#8217;s NYT suggests that a populist backlash against corporate malfeasance and greed could do serious damage to Obama&#8217;s agenda, and give the GOP a bridgehead from which to fight back. On the very same day, AIG is apparently to receive another $30bn of taxpayer largesse. This might be the straw that [...]]]></description>

During the post Bear-Stearns policy meltdown, when Paulson and his merry band of idiots put together policy on the fly, all we heard was how we needed to stimulate the economy.
