    Greed to destroy capitalism ?

    In his latest address to the American people the US president has announced that the financial system in the US faces imminent collapse if 700 billion is not injected in the system by the government purchasing sunken mortgage-backed securities ?

    Note that the 700 billion comes from tax payers money .... ie. The government will use tax money to let Americans continue borrowing money ... sounds insane..

      It gets worse. That 700billion to be paid by the US tax payer to be borrowed from the Chinese who have loads of dollars earned from the US people by selling them stuff that could have been made in the US by US employees. So the US taxpayer is paying even more money to people that have already constrained their income.

      Sounds like a recipe for resentment to me.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Once the Chinese get their state banking operations moving they are giong to end up owning most of the US financial houses.

              I was in the Chinese the other day having a lovely bowl of noodles when <shock> I see 2 eyes staring out at me from within the bowl.
              It was the peeking duck.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
