DeLong going to empty all of his accounts and dump it into bailout bonds?

There ought to be a rule that if you advocate in public then you should be required to put everything you own and everything you can borrow into that which you advocate. I mean it's a cinch to be a money maker, right.

It doesn't necessarily require ownership in it, but merely the possibility of ownership in it to give it a pass in the public's mind. But not in mine! An assessment of the Obama people's use of behaviorism has to be made.

... give another kick in the ribs to the idea that we're in this together, since whoever buys into the program will have to talk the value of their investment up.

Personally, I'm a little uncomfortable with being allowed to buy a tiny piece of companies that I should already own a piece of through taxpayer dollars, because the Obama administration made their deals with a thumb on the scales of retaining existing management. There really doesn't seem to be any limit to the fakery. I guess that's what "confidence" is all about.
