Republicans need to stop talking about science, because they reveal their ignorance with every talking point. I remember hearing Palin complain about fruit fly research...fruit flies, the cornerstone of genetic research. Genetic research = cures. So. Annoying.

Let me point out. People actually have to build this high speed rail system which would take a long time. That means employed people building this system.

If you want a real economist who predicted the housing crash and the market crash go see Peter Schiff videos on YouTube. He prediceted all of these things long before Krugman and Bernanke. Schiff even offered to debate Paul Krugman but Krugman refuses because he know he would lose. Schiff also called for gold to go higher, and it's reached all-time highs while Keynsian Bernanke and Krugman can't explain it. Krugman should give back his Nobel Prize.

I really hate Olbermann and Rachael Maddow is really bad too. I honestly think that O'Reilly isn't half as bad as Olbermann and/or Maddow.

@MaxwellBennett youre right in principal. olbermann clearly favors the left. but id say o'reilly is worse. see the 'debate' tim russert oreilly and krugman. oreilly is a loudmouth at best and a liar at worst.

[BubbaGanoush2]

Wrong. O'Really is nothing but hot air and bias. Olbermann uses facts again and again and again. The truth is all we need to show how stupid and ridiculous Republicans are. MOST of the time, he uses their own words. The proof of their stupidity and hypocrisy is self-evident.

[MaxwellBennett]

Olbermann is such a left wing hack. I am no conservative, the Republican Party is stupid. But Olbermann is just a left wing version of Billo the Clown.

The private capital is still there the question is who should allocate it through lending. The well run banks in the country could assume the good assets from the bankruptcy procedures and would gain the market share. This has worked from the begining of time! Banruptcy and liquidation would give somebody a profitable reason to go thru te balance sheets and figure out which loans are still getting paid on. Govts are not looking to make a profit. They are always a expensive way to get this done.

The problem is that the private allocators of capital are bankrupt, having made assinine investments in stupid housing funds and junk paper assets. They are literally in shambles, they self destructed and government is all thats really left.
