We are not going to quickly get over this global economic crisis by doing what we've done before. We are absolutely not going to recover by depending upon a few eggheads, like the economists who got us into this. We really MUST trust the wisdom of the crowds to find the best solutions and the only way to do that is with truly bottom up solutions that funnel most of the money to the people-- and not through tax breaks which allow the money to be spent on anything. We need to channel the money in smart ways by using coupons and credit systems. If it works for ATT, giving out credit cards with money electronically recorded in them, maybe the same can be done for the bailout. I don't have the detailed answers. But they won't be hard to come up with. The first step in the bailout should be to get all of the people in the world submitting ideas and suggestions on new ways to use the hundreds of billions or trillions we'll be spending. How dare a few hundred members of congress and Summers, Geithner, et. al, think they are smart enough to solve the problem they created in the first place.
The solutions and the distribution of the money should be bottom up. Maybe, before the vote, the congress and your staff ought to have some training on just what bottom up is really all about, because it's clear so far that most just don't get it and you've forgotten it, except for the words. And President Obama, it's time for you to start walking your bottom up talk.
