Meanwhile, the "wonder" project hit the hostility of many American parliamentarians, to the desperation of world markets, which posted yesterday an increased caution, refusing any sudden movements. ”It will not work!" reacted the president of the Senate banking committee, the Democrat Christopher Dodd, to the 700 billion U.S. dollars plan meant to erase the questionable debts accumulated by banks in real estate domain. "The taxpayer is put in a position to assume the risk of disastrous decisions taken by the well-paid individuals on Wall Street", said in his turn, Democrat Jack Reed. "We give 700 billion, or 700,000 billion, without resolving anything. Before signing a document of such magnitude, you need to know if you have exhausted all reasonable solutions ", said, on the other hand, Senator Richard Shelby.

„Endurance convalescence“

On the previous day, Sarkozy set on his counterparts to examine the necessity of convening an international meeting, "to reflect together on lessons to be learned" and estimated that "mankind is in front of the most serious crises of the past 80 years." In a sort of commentary on this issue, the Swiss daily newspaper "Le Temps" wrote, among other things, that "the history of the rescue operation of stock exchanges shows that the convalescence is a long term one." "After the 117 crises occurred in the last three decades, one could find that the rescue maneuvers orchestrated by the monetary authorities and governments have never been accompanied by an immediate and sustained recovery. It takes time”, concluded the mentioned publication.
