Police come,get out of here, clear the intersection and clean up this mess and get traffic flowing again ,we will figure out who the culprit at fault was later.

Good article,i mostly agree with you . Now is not the time to quibble .
I don't think most people understand monetary affairs and are leary of what we have . Credit is money,money is debt needs to be changed or at least controlled better. Now is not the time to build a new system. Get this one back to working for now and when the good times arrive again ,if ever, then start making purposeful changes slowly that don't wreck the financial system again.
What we have now has operated fairly well and we don't want to plunge headlong into another system that is mostly unproven.
Most blame this on the housing situation but the root cause is the cost of energy. The way America is set up it is almost more important to have a car than a house. No car, no job ,no eat , no house . The choice was made, i keep the car, job and eat, hell with the house.
Yes, people were over extended in overpriced home and other items.
That is a failure of our education system. It spent 8 years trying to teach me fractions many years ago and not one damned thing about finances ,i had to teach myself.
The money centers are also at fault for ever extending so much credit . In past 15 years i have probably received 300 sign here you are pre approved for credit. Buy a house , "dollar down and dollar when we catch you " . The scheme finally imploded.

Never happen ., it's a sensible thing to do . And you know that anything sensible will never happen , hasn't in my 50 years of watching politics , which is the root cause of the problems we face now.
You proposal makes sense , therefore you would never make it into politics . Damn, we need people with a brain running the country.

There is no way ( Colonel Klink ) Henry Paulsen would favor his best interest in his thousands of shares in Goldman Sacs .Would he?

Good post . That should prove to all the comparison of the Dollar to Gold .

As i look back 60 years , gold was about 35 dollars an ounce . Today about 800 + - , so it takes about 23 times as many dollars now to buy an ounce .
Which one held it's value ?]]> Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:23:36 -0400
