It left peoplesâ€™ money where it found it…as The Street took off for Labor Day. But the financial press didnâ€™t stop…and neither did we at The Daily Reckoning. The most amazing thing is that the people who are supposedly the most able thinkers seem unwilling to do any thinking.

Because itâ€™s not a liquidity problem. Itâ€™s a debt problem. A solvency problem. And it wonâ€™t go away by making more cash and credit available. Instead, all those bad decisions, bad loans, and bad investments have to be cleaned up. And that takes time.
