Scary stuff.

But a bigger immediate concern, say risk experts, is that established rules governing businesses could be changed depending on the political winds.

The guardian is the equivalent of the National Enquirer.

You're quoting the guardian? The "news"paper that scrutinizes, criticizes, pokes, prods the United States more often than Michael Moore is certainly not what I'd consider a credible source on any subject.

This is an interesting phenomenon I have pointed out before. When certain facts conflict with some posters world view they attack, the poster, the posters sources, the poster personally or any combination there of. But they rarely dispute the substance of the argument. I think we have seen evidence of this from these responses.

Are you really shocked at this? Obama acts like a leader of third world country and many of followers act like third world citizens. This doesn't shock me at all.

Not shocked as much as saddened that more people aren't concerned about this. I think the years of liberal higher education have really taken it's toll and we are paying the price now.

If the Guardian were a reputable newspaper I would agree with you. This paper, as I said before, is on the level of the National Enquirer.

Where did you get your degree? Oral Roberts University? BYU? I'll bet it was at an institution as liberal as my college, the University of Pittsburgh.

You don't like the Guardian I get it. Dispute the contents not the messenger, I haven't heard a refutation on your part or anyone elses.

Are you seriously trying to dispute the fact that higher education is dominated by liberals?

The politicos seem to like Warren Buffet -- perhaps they will listen to him?

Good article - well worth reading the whole thing.

From the OP's article:
Billionaire Warren Buffett said in a CNBC interview this week that, while he was sympathetic to the argument that a few debtholders should not try to scuttle a restructuring of such national importance, he thought there would be "a whole lot of consequences" to sacrificing lender priorities.
