Paulson pointed out) will pay big dividends for us down the road in gained productivity and flexibility. Bravo to Treasury!

But many of these same "Conservatives" will expect assistance from the government when a bank or corporation is in trouble. They especially support corporate welfare or government assistance for R+D. The best policy would be to offer no assistance to failing banks. But, obviously depositors need to be taken care of.
