The big question is, do the knuckleheads overseeing this debacle even know that it's happening?

rex osborne,

I'd say the politically connected fat cats are using their clout to squeeze what little blood out of their hosts (us!) while they can.

Yes, many of them do. The problem is, many of them: a) have no idea how to deal with this crisis or b) are actually trying to deliberately destroy the economy. Ayn Rand once said that Communists would take over America by: 1) using an economic crisis to get their talons into the business world, 2) run the businesses into the ground with regulations, and 3) say "see capitalism doesn't work." Sound familiar to what is happening with the bailouts?
