I wonder how the US(and I don't mean just the government) is planning to regain confidence back to it's finacial institution without federal fundings?

I can say one thing major central bank already have little confidence in the FRB and the US federal government inept to show initiative and congress is just spreading the wound.
We also lack "a strong export industry" ... there's not much we "make" anymore other what are proving to be less than stellar ideas about how law and business should work.
