"Mr. Bernanke, an academic who has studied the Great Depression, said that if A.I.G. had been allowed to collapse, “conceivable, its failure could have resulted in a 1930s-style global financial and economic meltdown, with catastrophic implications for production, income and jobs.”"

As one who has produced more gas than Blue Rhino, I say the bus driver is a punk who can't stand other people having fun.
