I nominate Erin Burnett for the Nobel Prize in economics

Meet the Press today:

MS. BURNETT: Yeah, right? All right, there are those out there who will always entertain the Armageddon, cataclysmic scenario. But it appears, from what the Fed did this week, and I think, you know, Maria was right when she said you can’t underestimate the significance of what they did with Bear Stearns and with that discount window that the central banks of the world right now do not want that, and they will do anything to prevent it, and they have the full faith of their governments behind them, and they have the one thing that people may not realize. They can print money. They can print money out of it. And again, that creates problems down the road, but they will do whatever it takes, I believe, at this point to avoid that Armageddon-like situation.
