Default OT - Can we afford to fix the banks?

"So far, Treasury has invested more than $162 billion in 207 banks. The
department set aside $250 billion from the bailout fund to be used for
direct investments in banks."

If I keep handing you piles of money to pay for your stupidity, do you have
any incentive to fix the problem?

The bankers have learned from the doctors. We can't afford to find cure
for vastly profitable diseases, either....




Who will save your grandchildren??

Now the corporation finance companies want to become banks so THEY can be
part of the handout!

We could fire the Federal Reserve and return to lawful public money, but I
don't see that happening anytime soon. And no matter what they do, the
taxpayers will take it in the shorts while the ultra-rich stay that way.

Somebody had to cover all of the bad loans made to people who were high
credit risk that were forced on banks by the clinton administration.

The fact that this was going to happen was obvious when the bank was
forced to finance the buyer of our house in 2000 who had an 86% debit
ratio and no obvious means of support.

Ah... I get it! It's Monica's fault. Bill got distracted and forced the
banks to make bad loans.

Did you read this above a urninal...

I say the more money invested in fishing grounds the better. Cod were
once flew on colonies flags and money. Of course we should invest in
banks Especially Grand Bank.

How true ! The commercail fishers and seafood buyers and processors
all screamed, let us catch more fish and politically forced NOAA-NMFS
to alow continued harvest proven beond commercial sustainablity of
target species.

I agree ! The contined abuse of our banks will leave all our children
with out cod, scallops, oysters, halibut, sabasties, and all the
flats. Once you could eat cod fishsticks then they were made of
pollock, then hake (pacific whitting) now..... mystry fish. Ugg. ALl
those mackeral snapping Catholics must be living in greef every
Friday!
SAVE OUR BANKS !
