We will never know, because the congressional dogcatchers passed the bill, but I wonder: Would doing absolutely nothing -- and I'm not even sure what that means, because I am not even sure we needed to "save: the financial system when we created TARP -- but doing absolutely nothing other than the current level of wasteful government spending: would the economy turn around faster, slower or not at all? Look, I was an economics major in college, but I don't claim any special expertise. Yet, is $800 billion enough or too much? i know bloggers are supposed to be like pundits -- sure of everything they spout -- but I admit my ignorance and my ambivalence.
