So far this looks like simple blackmail in a controlled descent.
We think there will be a snapback rally if the House votes for the bailout.

"We live in a world where love itself is condemned. People call it weakness, something to grow out of. Some say, 'Let each become strong, and let the weak perish.' They say the Christian religion with its preaching about love is a thing of the past. Neo-paganism may well cast off love but history teaches that we shall be the victors. I see the work of His hands and the marks of His love in every visible thing. Do not yield to hatred. We shall not forsake love."
Titus Brandsma, Dachau, 1942
