Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts was reported to say:
“This was never going to be a bill that was going to make people happy,” he said. “No solution to a problem can be more elegant than the problem itself. We are dealing with a very difficult problem.”
Do you think this is true? I can’t say one thing for or against the bailout, but it seems to me that problems are never elegant, and solutions (at least the good ones) are always elegant.

As Inigo Montoya said: ” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
There may be problems that are elegant, but I can’t think of one. I agree with you. (Then again, if you helped to cause the problem, perhaps you are more inclined to think of the problem as “elegant”.)
