...continuing to throw money at the banks, the government is on the road to prolonging the recession and effecting massive inflation once confidence is restored and the economy then has too much liquidity. By making money available to the banks essentially for free, the Fed does not guarantee that the banks will lend out the money to businesses. There is no motivation to lend money at low rates when capital preservation (i.e., lack of confidence) is still a leading issue. Rates may be low, but the banks are not going to offer these rates to the individuals and industries that...
...points apiece. But most impressive were the contributions of players who haven’t seen much action, like freshman center Peter Swiatek. In 18 minutes played, Swiatek put up nine points and six rebounds, shooting a perfect 3-for-3 from both the floor and the free-throw line. “I thought his effort was tremendous.

...failed draft picks to dig Detroit into its current hole. Although every armchair football aficionado knows that defensive- and offensive-line play wins championships (or at least a game or two), Millen repeatedly spent top draft choices on low-impact wide receivers, despite not having a good quarterback to throw them the ball. The low point: in 2003 Millen used the second overall pick on Michigan State wideout Charles Rogers, who was recently sentenced to nine months of drug counseling following an assault-and-battery arrest involving his fiancée. Among the top players Millen passed over for wide...
