No one suggested Lehman deserved to be saved.

Everything that relates to Pennywise and Bob Gray is very cryptic, and it's like that for a reason. Probably the success of that character as a monster, as a villain is because of that crypticness and uncertainty that people have towards him.

The data does not support that high-income tax cuts are the main drivers of growth, so I don't think that uncertainty over what the tax rate will be for someone that makes a million dollars a year has that big an impact on the economic growth rate in the country.

We see that hyperactivity and reward areas are important when the bubble's rising. People getting caught up in it.

We see emotional areas before the crash that indicate a sense of uncertainty or dread.

2011 was a year in which events rarely turned out as predicted, and when much of the world seemed shrouded in turmoil and uncertainty. It was difficult for government analysts back in Washington to know just where they were on the map, let alone where they were heading.
