Bailout Blues

Simply put, I am very strongly opposed to the "bailout" that Henry Paulson is proposing. This is a list of articles which help support my position. There are so many that I decided to have a special post just for this topic, rather than additions to my "Article of the Day" section.

"The Bailout Reader" at the bottom has mountains of great stuff and this site shows conclusively, that the Austrian Economists foresaw this problem years in advance. Chalk up another one for the true-free-marketers!

I will be continuously updating this post with new stuff, so keep checking back
