But conversely couldn't it be asked whether the fact that heavily poll driven people who would normally be scared of such universal public disapproval doing it anyway is a sign that maybe the mass gut reaction isn't the best one?
But mostly, I'm sure, they're just remembering how well it worked out for Herbert Hoover when he said "let the markets work it out" and that the guy who said "**** that nonsense" gets to be considered the hero first. I do think they are reacting too soon: the key to FDR's successful image despite not actually fixing the problem is that you have to let everything go in the tank first.
