The government saved Wall St. but left the economy behind

"Mr. Geithner can indeed blame much though not all of what went wrong on scorched-earth Republican obstructionism. But there's also something else going on. In both Europe and America, economic policy has to a large extent been governed by the implicit slogan 'Save the bankers, save the world' -- that is, restore confidence in the financial system and prosperity will follow....Unfortunately, we're still waiting for the promised prosperity." Paul Krugman in The New York Times.
