Flash video explains chart showing the Fed taking liquidity OUT of the market, right when they're begging Congress to authorize generating $700b more. Is Bernanke trying to precipitate more bank failures to upgrade the fear factor?

What should we do with the brain dead remnant of our financial system? The correct answer isn't an easy one, but it really is the only sane option. Perhaps the end of the income tax will help to ease the pain.
