The United States economy is a mess, and with the ill-conceived Bailout Plan, Bush's administration and the whizzes at the Federal Reserve intend to make it worse.

The fundamental ideas that fuel this particular episode are sound, and they can absolutely apply, at a basic level, to the real world. And so, for those of you out there struggling to understand why Wall Street is imploding upon itself, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
