タイムズ社説は「魂の叫び」のようだ。

The Republicans who killed the plan yesterday had misread this plan fatally, as simply a lifeboat for fat-cat bankers on Wall Street. In fact, the collapse of the plan threatens all of Main Street, in America and further afield. The repercussions were already beginning to become evident last night as stock markets around the globe plunged. There will have been no clearer signal to Congress of the havoc that it may reap if it does not rescue the Bill in good time.

もう一箇所、タイムズ社説から：

The problem for Washington was that all of this seemed far from the daily lives of American citizens. Congressional leaders came hard up against the "no blank cheque" mentality of ordinary Americans already under pressure from the collapse of the housing market and the down-turn in employment figures. Barney Frank, chairman of the Financial Services Committee, put the situation succinctly: "It is hard to get political credit for something that has not yet happened." This helped Republicans to argue that economic freedom means letting businesses go to the wall, conveniently ignoring the likely consequences. Congressmen of both stripes were also irritated by what they saw as Mr Paulson's excessive demands for authority. Not everyone was attracted to the idea of Mr Paulson as de facto President.

FTですから、非常に詳細。欧州についてのことを含む部分をちょっと抜粋。

The scale of the tumult in financial markets was underlined earlier in the day in a series of bank rescues on both sides of the Atlantic. In the US, Wachovia, the country's sixth-largest lender, was rescued by Citigroup in a government-sponsored bail-out that will see the US government take a $12bn stake in the country's largest bank.

In Europe, the German government underwrote a €35bn bail-out of Hypo Real Estate, a mortgage lender and financier to local authorities, while Iceland took control of Glitnir, the country's third-largest bank. In Britain, Bradford & Bingley's £52bn (€65bn) mortgage book was taken into national ownership. The bail-outs followed the €11.2bn rescue of Fortis, the Belgo-Dutch group, by three European governments late on Sunday night. The bail-outs triggered sharp falls in bank shares, including Dexia, Commerzbank, ING and Royal Bank of Scotland.

ロイズTSBがHBOSを買収する、というプランが危うくなっている、とのこと。

The nationalisation of Bradford & Bingley, the rescue of Dutch-Belgian financial group Fortis and the rescue takeover of US bank Wachovia by Citigroup further hit sentiment in an already nervous market.

Royal Bank of Scotland tumbled by over 20%, while Lloyds TSB lost 15% and HBOS shed 12.5% - putting their merger in doubt.
