For all the economic geniuses out there.. whats your "plan"?
Seriously talking heads of America, Fox, CNBC, wheres' your :"plan"?

If you have a "plan", would it work in 24 hours, or would you need a few months for it to play out?

Would you need to readjust your "plan" to fit changing realities, or are you so omnipotent it would be on stone tablets?

For 8 years you had your heads stuck up in your nether regions, and suddenly you have become economic gurus par none.

2. The White House plan hasn't even been announced yet!
What is odd, is even the critics say "it might work"....then they say, but at what cost?
Then they talk about seizing the banks and nationalizing the banks, but only then say that this "might" be cheaper to do.

IN otherwords, the Geithner plan that we have not yet seen may work, and may cost about the same as anything else might.

SO I'm not sure why all of the new economists are all in arms. I really don't.
Undermining the President's plan really is nothing more than a brain fart, if you ask me.

3. Roll back every last stinking bit of financial economic BULLSHIT of the last 28 years
Because it all was meant to benefit the ones who never needed the help to begin with.

And if that doesn't work, use the French approach.

6. I have a plan...
get rid of Geithner, and force Krugman to take the job. He should be being confirmed as we speak.

7. The republicans don't have a plan. It takes all their energy just
reading and criticizing ours.
