In a recent article (Who are the Architects of Economic Collapse? Will an Obama Administration Reverse the Tide, Global Research, November 9, 2008), Michel Chossudovsky noted that the “bailout” proposed by the US Treasury does not constitute a “solution” to the crisis. On the contrary, he predicts, it will cause further collapse. To quote him: “We are dealing with an absurd circular relationship: to finance the bailout, Washington must borrow from the banks, which are the recipients of the bailout.”
