kos makes an excellent point:

So Treasury gets congressional leaders into a room, and gives them a briefing so horrifying, that they all immediately age 20 years and come out with white hair and immediately get to work pissing away $700 billion to Wall Street.

They're terrified, we're told! It was horrible!

So why not slap that presentation online? Why not share this with the American people?

This isn't Iraq, where you can pretend that the information is "top secret" and must be protected lest disclosure amount to a security breach.

In this case, we're probably talking financial projections, maybe an excel sheet or two.

So put it online so the rest of the country can see what supposedly has our fearless leaders in a panic.
