I'll be on Wisconsin Public Radio for the next hour, talking bailouts.
UPDATE: Wow. Small sample size and all that, but I just took nearily a dozen calls on Wisconsin Public Radio and not a single one was anything but hostile to the bailout, nor did anyone balk at my crazy sky-isn't-falling talk in favor of deregulation and letting markets function. One guy complained that Bob Barr won't be at the debates, another worried about Federal Reserve overreach, a woman compared the rush-to-legislation with the PATRIOT Act, and another guy shrugged off his $10,000 investment in Lehman Brothers with an I-shouldn't-be-bailed-out rap. Interesting.
