#3 If they didn't do the bail outs at the start of the fiasco and allow the natural processes of open markets to take place, we'd already be in a recovery instead of lurching from one bubble to another bubble sustained by the cabal of employees who move from the money houses, the Fed and the Treasury. But hey, the big donors have made a lot of money in the process.

#4 "Utter chaos" - No. Not by a long shot. "Utter chaos" is when stores run out of stock of bare necessities because deliveries have stopped, the ATMs don't dispense cash anymore, when very few are even willing to accept cash, companies cannot secure even the shortest term loans to stay in business, or when prices for necessities rise 10% - a day. Or when an indefinite bank holiday is imposed and private ownership gold is outlawed, and the US Supreme Court ratifies it. Oh wait - that's already happened!
