Bernanke: Bro, I need $700 billion to bail out the financial sector! Otherwise the economy's gonna explode in your face! I need it now!
Congress: Well iono, that's a lot of money.
Bernanke: Come on Bro, we go way back. I know what I'm doing. And when has the fed said it knows what it's doing and it didn't?
Congress: Well there was that one time during the '30s...
Angry Liberal: No Congress! Don't do it! You're only creating a moral hazard for wealthy investment bankers and reconstituting the credit bubble! Surely, a more aggressive fiscal stimulus is the best solution to this crisis!
Bernanke: Shutup peasant. Get back to paying off your adjustable rate mortgages. Oh wait, you can't.
Congress: The Angry Liberal has a point...
Bernanke: *cough* elections *cough*
Congress: Oh, right...
Angry Liberal: No! Congress! Don't do it! Don't you get it? The bailout...
*Congress passes bill*
Angry Liberal: It's a TARP!
