Excerpt: "The Fed is in a very tough position. This is a credit problem. It's serious. It's hard to say what the result will be - but it could potentially be very bad. You can have some pretty catastrophic things happen when people start to panic - as far as what happens with money and how all sorts of things can seize up at once. It's really a psychological problem - a spiral of negativity and panic that feeds on itself. People start to do irrational things and then others respond in irrational ways to their irrational actions and so on and so forth."
