Was The Bailout Bill A Good Idea?

“‘And the more I report it, the more scared I have been,’ Davidson tells This American Life host Ira Glass as part of a one-hour special report on the last week of financial turmoil.”

I strongly urge you to take 12 minutes and listen to the exchange between Ira Glass and Adam Davidson about the bailout. It’s a down-to-earth review of what the bill does, what it should have done instead perhaps, and its importance.

The last six minutes of the 18 minute podcast are interesting too, but the first 12 minutes are essential.

Do yourself the favor of listening. 12 minutes.
