To me, it looks like the government(obama) has declared econiomic martial law. And I am sort of ok with that, so long as, when the crisis is over the power is given back to the people. Can they stave off a depression? I don't know. But we are all going to find out whether we believe or not.
It reminds me of that scene in gladiator when the senator (Gracus) askes maximus "and when you have all the power of Rome, why would you give it back to the people?" The answer was, maximus had honor made of iron.
I just don't put Obama's honor in the same class as Maximus'.

Ah yes, the cycle of greed and ruin. The only thing to stop that is when the government rests upon the shoulders of One.
