I strongly disagree with this argument against mark to market. As for dealing with market illiquidity, as I explain in my article on how to price illiquid TARP assets, when trading of assets economically vital is disrupted, government should set in to play a market maker's role, one of the additional positive results of such an approach being to enable effective market to market.

It is unfortunate that many it is shaping as republican vs. democrat thing.
