Hey Tanganites – what do you think of the bailout issue and how it’s affecting the stock market and the economy? Do you think we need government interventions in the market and if so, is the current plan the right one? Or should we let these over-extended institutions fail on their own and let capitalism work alone?

Also, how is this downturn in the economy affecting your spending habits? And do sites like Tanga become more important in your purchasing decisions now, and for the holidays?
