The Vu From Here

I'm getting a profoundly depressing feeling of "deja vu all over again" from the unseemly haste with which the administration is trying to rush through its intervention in the economic meltdown. The idea is to give $700 billion to Treasury Secretary Paulsen -- and God knows where it's coming from -- to throw at failing banks with virtually no oversight. "Trust us to do the right thing," the administration is telling us. When have we heard that before? With these clowns you can't avoid the thought they're up to no good.
