Comments on: The Case Against The Bailout http://belowthebeltway.com/2008/09/29/the-case-against-the-bailout/ I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

I'm be more than happy to agree with the "rescue" plan if Congress will do two things... 1. Hold themselves accountable (by name... not House or Senate but by individual names) if this thing doesn't work. I want to know who screwed up! 2. Agree to some punishment if their plan doesn't do what they are promising it will do. Punishment and an agreement that they will resign their post... Immediately! I want to see some accountability before I will agree to this approach.

This is a recipe for further disaster -- in fact, those asset prices need to fall to a level that makes buyers interested in purchasing them.
