MATT DRISCOLL: HAS A STOCKPILE OF CAMPBELL'S SOUP AND WATER >>>

Whether you listened to the man or have simply read the reviews - or took a glance at today's stock market action - Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner appears to have scared the shit out of everyone with his plan to stabilize the financial sector.

And people are right to be scared by it. According to Geithner, if no action is taken we could soon be facing the complete collapse of our economic system. No on except my friend Sean the Communist wants to see something like that.

But is Geithner right about how bad things are? Daniel Gross of Slate says yes.

And while everyone seems to agree we're in the midst of a dire situation, not everyone is thrilled with the plan Geithner rolled out.
