  "Gloriously uncertain" describes how I feel about economics in general, never mind the crazy finance economics around this whole mess, but what I do know is that the specific provisions against oversight in the first bill screamed rank corruption to me.

Course, I do suspect I would be happier if I were neutral about it all like you though! Terrible shame I get worked up over things... me though?

The crisis is complex and has many causes; there won't be a simple or quick solution." ... and he's an economist.
