Bank nationalisation gains ground with Republicans (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2ad3b750-fd27-11dd-a103-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1)
“You should not get caught up on a word [nationalisation],†he told the Financial Times in an interview. “I would argue that we cannot be ideologically a little bit pregnant. It doesn’t matter what you call it, but we can’t keep on funding these zombie banks [without gaining public control]. That’s what the Japanese did.â€
Barack Obama, the president, who has tried to avoid panicking lawmakers and markets by entertaining the idea, has recently moved more towards what he calls the “Swedish model†– an approach backed strongly by Mr Graham.
And so it continues....

You know, I admire John McCain for his military service and his financial discipline as a politician, but sometimes I wish he would STFU. I have NO used for Lindsey Graham, however.

Because a 300 point drop in the markets based on fear of nationalization isn't enough of a clue.

These people are either criminally stupid or part of a criminal conspiracy to topple our economic system.
Either way the whole lot of them should be jailed.

Everybody sees a cash cow and wants a piece of it. They talked us into a recession and now are trying to gain more control. If it looks like they're going to get the nationalisation my wife and I'll pull most of our money out of the bank and keep it in a safe. We need to vote these people out and get true conservatives in there.

Wonder what would happen if those who are the producers in our society just decided to boycott banks? :uhsure:

Sounds like a plan, but where in the world can money be safely parked? These are truly scary times. Maybe we should stash gold in a safe or something. At least it should probably appreciate.

Dear Senators:
Please keep your thieving ****ing hands off of our goddam banks.
Sincerely,
BC
one of the things I like best about my bank - Dollar Bank - is that it is not publicly traded and is safe from crap like this. That being said - I agree - they need to all be told NOT to support any attempts to nationalize the banks.

If you skip the monolouges and disjointed sex scenes, the book takes half as long to read.

I'll read it as written.

We need to make a RINO preserve in Kennebunkport, Maine, right in the middle of the New England "Blue Blood Republican" region, and just ship our Grahams and Specters to sip their dry Martinis with Thurston Howell the Third in Bermuda Shorts and Yale polo shirts. Maybe Snowe and Collins can start a charity auction or something along with their Eva Gabor types.
