Steve Martin: "What you need is a good "bleeding!""

Patient:  "But I'm already Bleeding!"

Steve Martin: "Hey, who is the Barber here, anyway?"

Banks being exhorted to "lend" to each other with money they have been forced to borrow from the Government, and NOW, at a cheaper rate!  The solution to our current condition that was created by lending money to people and institutions that couldn't pay back the money is being medicated with more loans that will never be repaid!  Brilliant!  This is akin to the SNL skit where Steve Martin plays a medieval Barber / Surgeon and his remedy for an injured man who is bleeding to death is "blood-letting."

If we believe blood-letting, (rate cuts) maybe the "faith" will be enough to turn things around.  I don't think so...but I'm wrong a lot of the time.
