From a morning talk show in Cleveland:
DAN MOULTHROP: Gary's with us now from Lakewood . . . Hey, Gary.
GARY: Thanks for taking my call. You mentioned that there was a problem with the way they rolled this out, and I couldn't agree more. They rolled it out as The $700 Billion Bailout. There were never any other alternatives put on the table first, or even saying, "We really need to talk about this as a nation." We've been put in panic mode again. And we've been burnt in panic mode twice. We got burned after 9/11 with the Patriot Act being passed -- that basically shredded the Constitution; and we got burned in the lead-up up to the Iraq War with WMDs. I think they have a crisis of trust. We're in panic mode and we do not believe them.
And The Execupundit ("Crisis. Not Disaster") points us to an short anti-Chicken Little article that should calm some of us down. It takes the long view that puts confidence in the resilience of the people.
