POPSThe Right Stuff...In The Financial Crisis
Subprime Crisis: President Bush's financial team is now proving its mettle — and its expertise. Led by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, it crafted a reasonable, workable response to the subprime meltdown. Paulson and Fed chief Ben Bernanke, in particular, moved quickly to provide help to ailing markets. It couldn't have been more timely — or more welcome. Like so many others, we believe that government should largely remove itself from functioning markets. But in a case such as this, where a market has been seriously damaged due to regulatory excess, an obligation exists to help undo the damage. That's the case now with the subprime crisis and housing collapse, both largely due to decades of congressional incompetence. With world credit markets seized up and little to show for piecemeal U.S. efforts to deal with the growing financial panic, Paulson and others on the Bush financial team late last week shifted course, crafting a systematic answer to the markets' meltdown.

POPSMore OLPC's means more kids and parents educated "In Uruguay the parents wait for the kids to go to bed so they can use the laptops. So you saw people move to rural communities… so their kids could take advantage of . In Rwanda the families brought electricity to the schools so that the kids could keep using the laptops." I find that really cool. :) Yay for OLPC!
