Views apropos of Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

Washington Post,September 29, 2008 page A19:

Robert Samuelson's Bankrupt Economics: "A crisis resists the usual remedies":-
The economy will get worse. Michael Mussa of the Peterson Institute for International Economics thinks unemployment (now 6.1%) could peak near 7%; other projections are higher. " The harder question is whether financial turmoil heralds an era of instability." My comment: That remains to be seen during the course of time.

Lawrence Summers wrote "A Bailout is just a start":-

"A time when confidence is lagging in the consumer, financial and business sectors is not a time for government to step back. Well-designed policies are essential to support the economy and, given the seriousness of health-care, energy, education and inequality issues, can make a longer-term constribution as well."
