what would the market do if they started getting the idea that they'll have to save their own bacon?

That's a great question. Too bad we may not find out. I have hated this bailout thing from the start. I think the only thing worse than the bailout is to not get it resolved and have it dragged out indefinitely.

f its going to fail its better that it fails quickly so we can begin rebuilding. The Economic Stimulus package and the other bailouts have only prolonged the inevitable. If this bailout passes Thursday it will just be prolonging the failure even more. Lets just take out hacks and get on with it already.
