Apart from the revised $700 billion bailout plan, can the U.S. government do enough to restore confidence and assuage the trauma? “ I was wondering all these days why the US melt down was triggering melt downs else where too. Probably I got the answer which I was looking for. I thought I should share this with Praja where the techies are in majority (in a lighter vein).
