futures could bounce if a package is announced by the large banks, a la long term capital style.  noone wants to see a disorderly liquidation.

    as a foreigner can I ask what national government would EVER allow its major banks to get into so much trouble? this is going to criple the US economy growth for years to come and the new new york will now be HK or Singapore

    btw. why doesn't congress move to impeach the following (its possible to impeach someone after leaving office):

    Chairman Greenspan
    Treasury Secretary Snow
    President Bush

    Also, what are the chances of the next Attorney General (Fed or NY) charging all former CEOs and a number of other executives under the RICO statutes or with conspiracy?

    Greenspan -- isn't he emabarressed by what he's done?  No.  He continues to speak.  He says "housing will bottom in the firat half of 2009, although prices will continue to drift lower for at least eight months after that."

    What does that mean?
