why forestall the inevitable and make things worse down the road? if we've fucked things up so bad that a global depression is what needs to happen then that's what should happen - essentially starting over and learning from the mistakes that drove this bus off the cliff.

this is like somebody who's having chest pains going to a doctor and the doctor keeps treating the chest pains so the patient feels better - the doctor knows that there are blocked arteries but doesn't do anything about those, just keeps handing out pills, the guy is happy because he doesn't have to undergo a bypass operation and he's got pills for the pain - in a month the guy is dead.

this isn't the 1930's, government was much smaller then, must less infrastructure - people won't starve or be homeless.

the scary thing about a depression is that the way it ended in the 30's was with a World War.

anyway the GM bail out is going to happen - it would be bailed out by Bush and it will surely get a bail out by a Democratic administration and congress.
