Will the bailout package help?

It is good that US government is toying with the idea of having a bailout package for banks. People are apprehensive about the good this move will make. Before making hasty moves to rejuvenate the US economy, the government should make a complete estimate of the quantum of demage caused by sub-prime crisis. 

Without proper estimate of the demage, no corrective action can bring the economy out of tail spin. It is foolish on government's part to waste tax-payers' dollars on the hasty moves.
