What the US government was just supposed to watch how its financial system disappears in an instance? If it fully collapsed the world would've been far far worse now. Past a certain point you have no choice but to bail out. Plus if it collapsed Chine would've lost 500b dollars.....don't think they woud've not responsed

USA is taking the line of creating political, financial, social, & religious stunts that play a vital role in moving forward for its global destruction policies to carry out. US govt has slaved its own nation. Born free taxed to death. $ will not be the global currency any more as declared in G-20 meeting. Internationally global policies of politics & trade are quickly changing. If USA wants to keep standing where it was it will have to leave the war track & not violate global peace any more.

The idea of letting tax-papers pay for the toxic assets of the banks has never worked and will never work. Sweden "solved" its banking crisis by austerity measures, losing about 200,000 industrial jobs in the process (out of a total of about 1 million). Tremonti is right: We have to freeze and "sterilize" these speculative papers. No-one can pay more than 1 quadrillion dollars in outstanding derivates.
