You know the problem with that whole $700,000,000,000 bailout plan floated by Washington? It just wasn’t branded right.

At least according to some PR people:

“‘Bailout’ connotes failure, and Americans hate failure,” Mr. Benett said. “There is nothing redemptive about a bailout. What if this had been called a ‘rescue’ from the beginning? Or the ‘Save Our Homes Act’? Supporting a ‘rescue’ is a bear of an entirely different species. It is not only a redemptive act, restoring things to their rightful order — it is heroic.”

See, putting the U.S. economy $700,000,000,000 more in debt and preventing the market from adjusting itself is heroic!

Oh, OK. That makes it all better.
