In the OP link, then what everyone is waiting for is QE2 to work.
"That leaves the Federal Reserve's monetary policy as the economy's best hope. After buying hundreds of billions of dollars worth of bonds to force interest rates lower, the central bank moved to the sidelines in June. On Friday, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke reaffirmed the central bank's current policy of waiting for its easy-money policies to kick in."
RNC tends to be supportive of mortal sin. Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy all support the more Socialist concept of prohibitions of profiteering from loans to the poort. The federal government and the central bank have essentially been re-writing/buying failed paper of the poor, which they were expected to get jailed for owning(?).
Instead, the poor left the rich bond-holders with worthless paper, and no money. That had not been the apparent expectation.
The mess still had to be cleaned up: In a global financial system, largely made valueable by accounting and law, as opposed to commodity values.
Like S&P, then Chairman Bernanke faulted people like Perry for cause the downgrade of the bonds--creating havoc with the usual politics: Like the Nazis did at one time.
