It is common sense that unless a problem is addressed at root, it would resurface later and relapse could be more severe. I have tried to present a root cause analysis of the financial crisis and practical solutions for short term as well as long term in the article on link below. The title of the article is "Henry Paulson's Approach is Bass Ackwards":

Not enough credit is being given to the high gas prices this past year and it's serious damage on our economy and society. That one factor alone has caused serious stress in both individuals and businesses. A record number of homes and jobs have been lost as a direct result. And, while we are doing the happy dance around the lower prices at the pumps OPEC is announcing cuts to manipulate the prices upward again. We must get on with becoming energy independent.We can't take another year like this past. There is a wonderful new book out about the energy crisis and what it would take for America to become energy independent. It covers every aspect of oil, what it's uses are besides gasoline, our reserves, our depletion of it. Every type of alternative energy is covered and it's potential to replace oil. He even has proposed legislative agenda's that would be necessary to implement these changes along with time frames. This book is profoundly informative and our country needs to become more informed and move forward with becoming energy independent. Green technology would not only provide clean cheap energy it would create millions of badly needed new jobs. The Book is called The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence NOW. Our politicians all need to read this book. www.themanhattanprojectof2009.com

where the money is coming from. I'm not even clear how much of the "money" is in loans, guarantees, deposit insurance or an outright giveaway/bailout. Some of the money may be paid back, never used or simply spent, with "no strings" by the various entities.

It seems to be real unclear right now. I don't know whether that scares or comforts me.
