His desperate offers of navy escorts (for which we don't have near the capacity required to restore normal traffic) and 20 billion in reinsurance (when analysts estimate more like 300 billion in commitments would be needed -- a number that is beyond the maximum DFC could commit without congressional approval) aren't making a dent
