I think its too early to make all the claims of failure at this point in time. The problem wasn't created overnight and its not going to go away immediately no matter what steps are taken.

Your post is linked to one side of the propaganda machine and I'm not sure that's the right stance, either.

Please explain what you mean by one side of the propoganda machine ?  This site is one dedicated to market  analysis, it is not a 'conspiracy' site.  I have followed him with interest as, so far he seems to have got it right, unlike the politicians.  Which makes me wonder, if people such as this man have been getting it right, why are our leaders still barely admitting the extent of the situation ?

And indeed some of my reading will stem from sites others may deem as 'one side of the propoganda machine' it was such reading that alerted me to this financial crash way back in october 2007 with the BNP Parabas incident.  Reported briefly in the press it was the underground media that really asked the correct question about the consequences and realised what was about to happen.

Seeing that the article is dated Feb 16th and the bill was signed on Feb 17th maybe the rumors of our demise are a bit premature.

It's a brand new day, let the man come in and do the popcorn, to quote James Brown.

quote from article linked above by boosh: But based on the overall net results to date, every single one is an outright, unambiguous, proven failure:.....  :bangry:

And as bruddah jrl pointed out above, the article was published a day before Obama signed any bill. Deeming his future efforts as currently failing is nothing more than propaganda. Clearly, everyone's opinion of what makes an "intelligent" read is just that.

As far as speaking in generalities about the current situation and reactions, at least Obama has been taking a trickle-up approach to the crisis. That is, he's attempting to get money into the hands of "we the people" under the assumption that most of the money will be spent on goods and services, thereby lifting the economy.

Bush, on the other hand, took the traditional republican trickle-down approach, assuming money thrown at the banks would help float the economy, However, imo, that approach is what's ultimately damaging the american way/quality of life for the average Joe.

quote from bottom of article linked above: The main kind of confidence you need now is confidence in yourself —plus the tools to improve your timing and investment choices. That's not only possible; it's quite easy.

That's why I am holding a free online video summit on Thursday, February 26. And that's why I feel you must be there.
The details are below........
