Tedd Benson discusses the OPEN Prototype Initiative, a collaboration between Massachusetts Institute of Technology and private industry that aims to develop guidelines to test environmentally friendly ways to design and build homes

After weeks of defending failing financial institutions, the Bush Administration and Congressional leaders are going on the offensive. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson says the federal government is writing a plan to cover the bad housing debt which caused the crisis. President Bush warned the plan will put a 'significant' amount of taxpayer funds at risk, but that it's necessary to keep the financial system from grinding to a halt. The Wall Street Journal calls it the biggest intervention in financial markets since the 1930s. Is this the beginning or the end of the financial crisis? The immediate reaction of stock markets to the still un formulated plan is enthusiastic. Stock markets around the world rocketed up today on the news, following record declines earlier this week. Should the federal government take on the bad housing debt? Will Congress and the White House agree on a plan? How much will it cost taxpayers? Can we afford it? Will this action settle the credit crisis? BusinessWeek's Michael Mandel will be on hand to answer your questions.
