more linky goodness

some links to ponder

Japanese economists think maybe US Treasury should issue some bonds in yen - takes out some of the uncertainty, just in case the dollar were to slip a bit...

Fed capitulates - the new buzzword is "quantitative easing" - or "going fiscal" as they say.

Systemic Risk - trade and contagion - it is not just Iceland who can't get their dry goods shipped - letters of credit are not being accepted and trade is halting. Back to barter for everyone.

Liquidity Lift for Student Loans - DoE to purchase student loans back to 2003 to try to keep market liquid.

Maybe a miracle will happen...
