In another recent interview on On Point, Clinton former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers says that it was the right move to bail out Bear Stearns.  Skeptical host Tom Ashbrook presses him on why he thinks so, but Summers does not want to spell it out.

In this Fresh Air interview Michael Greenberger agrees with Summers that Bear Stearns could not be allowed to fail.  But unlike Summers, he quite clearly states the unsettling reason.
