So the bailout had to go down to defeat today. Had it not, people
would REALLY be scared at the losses that continue to mount.

You really don't understand cause and effect, do you? The money left
the market *because* the bailout package failed. The bailout could
have restored investor confidence. So, if a missing $700 million
causes $7 trillion to leave the market today, then a missing $7
trillion... never mind $14 trillion tomorrow; $70 trillion may be more
like it.

All for the want of a measly $700 million. Maybe the flow can be
staunched with a $2 trillion bailout - delay costs money - applied to
the right places, but the time is short.

Mook is out of his mind. The market loss yesterday was a little over
a trillion, most of which was made up today.
