If we're going to have some regulation and distribute taxes, I say let's take back from the greedy pockets that they took from, give it back to the middle and working class, and let real Americans decide where that money should go.
Love it. You in the USA need real change. Greed does not work for those with even an ounce of humanity or christian hearts. FDR started it in the 1930s and I hope you find a President that will keep it going.
And now those bankers are paying the price in the markets, there companies are going bankrupt. That's the way it works in capitalist societies. What's the alternative, a command economy, we'll they're such a stirling success at creating wealth for the most citizens aren't they?
It's more like envy, they've got money, I haven't so I'm jealous.
The US is a democracy, like the UK, the people could have voted in a more prudent government, they chose not to.
Mind you I think these banks should review there hiring policies. They don't seem to be keeping an eye on what's going on, or hiring people who make good decisions.
I think they should be allowed to fail, their assets will be bought up by the banks that have been more prudent and made less profit over the last decade or so.
Well define greedy. They were attempting to maximise profit for their shareholders; isn't that what businesses are supposed to do?
This isn't the first boom bust in the history of the world, and it won't be the last.
The fact is that everybody's been riding this economic tiger for the past decade, and it's suited everybody.
People want easy credit, easy mortgages, cheap fuel, and stable jobs,and they've voted for the people who will supply that, not the ones who advised prudence.
But is "greedy bankers" becoming some sort of code for greedy jew?
I'm getting an undertow of anti-semitism in all this finger pointing.
The fact is that markets work by being markets, they get regulated by politicians. Promoting a hands off approach for decades, while allowing government borrowing to sky rocket is a recipe for disaster. The governments caused that disaster, the market isn't a greedy banker etc, it just is.
you're the man, allan. the goddamn man. thanks for keeping my faith in the older generations alive. i thought they were lost to the american dream, which died long ago. you give me hope. maybe we'll pull through all of this and put our country back on track. or not. doesn't matter in the long run, i suppose, though it's good to know that someone else cares. peace.

I agree - I can't believe people are going along with this elite - defacto world government - bailout of colossal proportions.
The puppet master have slipped, and the puppets are being setup to take the fall.

It's evolutionary, it's the way it should be.
Hard times ahead, whatever happens.
