Indeed, the government bailout would protect the fortunes of the upper one percent, but the real question is one that seems to remain largely unanswered: What sort of long-term effects would action (or inaction) in this instance produce? It seems safe to assume that no matter what decision is ultimately made, the financial landscape of our country is about to undergo some dramatic changes.
