After reading my comments, I should clarify that my comments do not give the whole story, are very simplistic, and are not to suggest that government absorption of the private banking enterprise is a good thing. I do believe that this is a human nature issue related to greed, the need for a new bubble after the deflated post-dotcom bubble to prop the economy, and that a conversion to socialized banking is not recommended. I do, believe, that all walks of politicians are involved just "the other guy's party" as both major pres. candidates suggest - for your entertainment. Since housing seemed to be the last refuge for private citizen equity in this country, everyone is a little bit scared shitless right now. Ben, this may influence your trip home in November. Don't you feel lucky that you don't have a mortgage right now? By next year, we may all become the Walton's of Tennessee.DrFeelgoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483555196380449482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-27060351180391090632008-09-18T12:18:00.000-07:002008-09-18T12:18:00.000-07:00I'm going to call my nation-state HARDROCKIA.I'm going to call my nation-state HARDROCKIA.TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123364195474763594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-40869810248856522662008-09-18T12:03:00.000-07:002008-09-18T12:03:00.000-07:00I recommend leaving the big city.

Looting and crime will be rampant if the GDII hits.<BR/>Former Merrill Lynch chief Alex Patelis told a UK news agency on July 18 that "I don't see how the current situation can continue beyond six months," meaning there could be a total collapse of the American financial system. (Of course Merrill Lynch sold to Bank of America, Monday, for a mere $50 Billion. The Dallas Cowboys are worth $1.5 Billion.) This doesn't look partisan to me. In my opinion, this is a greed scheme that has occurred before with private financial systems. This time, subprime loans were given to artificially produce yet another bubble market. The greedy get rich and then it pops. If a depression occurs, either we will be forced to accept the North American union or the country will reform into about 50 to 100 independent nation-states. Either way, goodbye USA; been nice knowin' ya. The EU will fall as well and your life as you know it will harshly change forever. More on this later...if I can still pay my internet bill.DrFeelgoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483555196380449482noreply@blogger.com
