Iceland Was Right, We Were Wrong: The IMF

61. I do not believe that the world would have ended had there been a reasonable bank and market

holiday in September 2008 to give time to legislator and regulators to work out at least the outlines of a plan that would involve serious conditions for any bailout with the details to be worked out in coming weeks.

What we had was a screaming Wall Street insider with a two page outline that did not include any promise of conditions who was masquerading as a Treasury Secretary and a supine elected government. Our current President was as supine as them all, which was a bad sign.

No one in Congress or the Executive was exactly standing up in the fight against those who would later be termed "banksters". You have that right.

However you appear to be perfectly happy in your role as road kill and are telling the rest of us that there is no other route than to join you on the yellow line. That's what you don't have right.
