No problem...

While the bail-out would have injected much needed credit in the short term and got the markets going in the right direction temporarily, it still would have exacerbated the problem in the long run.

Kinda of like asking, "Would you like to have moderate pain for a long, long time, or excruciating pain for a shorter time interval?

What's next for the U.S.? What's George Dubbya gonna do now? ( That's a thought that frightens me....)

It's going to get bumpy, methinks.
