Alan Blinder is a director at the CFR and believes in the system and government controls in the economy. He's not addressing the heart of the problem, which is the Federal Reserve's power to manipulate our dollars and it's power to bail out corporations (i.e. tax dollars)

People should check out shadowstats . com to see what the more accurate CPI and get more REAL news about the economy.

Separate commercial banks from investment banks, "savings and Loans" which were destroyed by neil bush, mccain, etc. It's all a result of the deregulation and lobbyists destroying middle class america.

The current economic situation is merely the result of the Regan revolution. We had regulations in place that would have prevented this situation from happening in the first place. I'm sick of the attitude that Regan infected our culture with that lets business men gamble with a safety net but lets tens of millions go with healthcare.

[Pleblian]

No... this was setup, by the financial sector, to bail them out. The system is keeping itself in check and the big investors want special treatment. Sorry you knew the gamble when you got into it... That's how a free market works.

[nutherefurlong]

Trippy shirt.

I like that economics are part of the big discussion. I think we all need to learn more about the situation we're in, no matter what the reality of it.

[darkblumachine]

I think that this is something that was supposed to handled decades ago. Telling people that they can get loans for homes and improve upon them, when they can't afford the risk is a terrible policy issue.

Regulation should have been handled years back, people that afford to handle the risk should have been forced to rent. That's that.

if you don't have, you just don't have it.
