If the reward for lending $$$ which is nothing more that a measure of the value of a mans work is zero, why work???

Why bust your ass to make $$$ if the money is worthless??? Why invest in a business if your just gonna be regulated and taxed to death???

and I am sure in the past 5 years they have had hundreds of thousands.


Look at the website ..it isn't crazy talk.. banks are going under.

Regulators and Government Activism Are Prolonging The Housing Crisis | Problem Bank List
Yep and those folks will lose their homes because the judges who have their pensions invested in these same MBS pools need to make em whole. Evidence........banks don't need no stinking evidence. Who knows how many times they have been paid over and over for these fake securities and trusts starting with the TARP and now all this QE nonsense over and over. Hell they probably don't even know. The trail is so lost on where all these securities and trusts lead nobody knows. It's the biggest ponzie scheme ever created and when it crashed and burned the taxpayers are bailing em all out. Most or too gdam stupid to even see it and call it a conspiracy theory now. Unbelievable.

MTATech is right about needing inflation. We do need inflation right now, so many Americans are in debt up to their eyeballs we need inflation to pay off the billions that Americans hold in private debt. Lowering the value of the dollar also makes it less desirable to ship jobs to China. However, when Americans finally start to pay their debt down, we need to start shrinking the money supply slowly to raise the value of the dollar again. That's my view

Let the banks eat their losses. Pouring 40 billion dollars a month to bail out the crooked securities and trusts these folks created on the backs of folks who see their dollars buying less is complete BS.

Actually, I'm gonna back peddle on what I said. Start imposing tariffs and end free trade, now. We don't need inflation, we need tariffs to counteract cheap overseas labor. Make the tariffs high enough that the products would cost as much as if it was produced domestically

Everyones paycheck gets smaller when much more money goes into the gas tank, the food bill, health insurance etc.. leaving little money to spend on other things to get the economy going..

If we paid $10 dollars a gallon and it costs $50 a day to get to work , there would be no money left for anything else . The pizza place has no customers, the dry cleaning shop will not get the customers, the movie house would be empty.

Obama and his energy Czar wants $10 a gallon for gas. how is that suppose to help the economy?

Most corporations have offshored now and the world is their customer so I don't think it would do much good and in fact would hurt the US consumer.

We need to stop rewarding these banks who created the ponzi scheme that failed. It's ridiculous.

No they either need to go bankrupt and let the bank that made the bad loan eat it, or they need to work harder and pay off the debt...

It's too late now though, THE RULE OF LAW has been abandoned...

The full faith and credit of the USA is not backed by the FED or the government, it's backed by the people...

The people have gone insane and their broke...

The charade will end soon and there will be nobody big enough to bail out the USA...

So pick your next dictator in the next election, that is if they can keep the government running....

Inflation also means that wages rise.
