I thought filterton was being ironic (i.e. I thought his meaning was contrary to what he actually wrote), which is why I was confused when you actually agreed with what he said.
I found the alcoholism analogy ridiculous, and so took it as comical.
Now that I know you both were being serious, I don't know what to say...except that I find the analogy ridiculous. I don't see the connection between alcoholism, the consumption of alcohol, and the regulation of alcohol and the regulation of the economy and economic crises. It's a false analogy.

I think you may have it backwards. The US has learned from Sweden's mistakes. I am under the impression that the US Gov't will have an ownership stake in any "bailout" plan. As much as 70% in one case I think.

I was hoping I had it backwards. If this is true, then I guess the plan only
moderately sucks instead of
really sucks.
