  • What Happens When Banks Are Nationalized [View article]
    People are complicating the obvious when they talk about all of this. The core problem is simple, and the solution is simple. Core problem: too much credit. The average American is tapped out. Why? 30-40% of their gross goes to Fed taxes. That's the first hurdle. Then they face the others -- state, local, property, sales taxes, etc. Hardly any discretionary left after that, so they turn to credit. The solution: we've GOT to lower that first hurdle...DRAMATICALLY.

    The solution the government has been pursuing, and continues to pursue, is *more credit*...more socialism by ever-bigger government, as it buys *private* debt and assets...and attempts to clear the way for easier credit again! It's a big ramp-up of spending and debt!! The absolute opposite of what is needed.

    Kill the debt problem by drastically lowering that first hurdle, and you *automatically* get consumer spending going again -- it will help many with their mortgage payments, thereby resolving a good portion of that...and also help with additional discretionary spending. And not only *without* the moral hazards of the government socialist big-spending "solution"...but with an *increase* in the justness and moralness of the economic structure!! Because giving people back more of what is theirs is **ALWAYS** the right thing to do!!

    C'mon people, let's get on our Senators and Reps to rethink all this and CHANGE DIRECTIONS!!
