IF I was Barack this is how I would think

[StagesOfDefeat]

ENEMY= The big bank executives

To SOLVE PROBLEM= Fire the big bank excutives and break up the big banks just like Japan did in the 90s, and do sort of nationalize the banks.

To prove this idea would work watch the video

Screw nationailzing banks.... politicians in the US are crooks enough as it is, we don't need them to run the banks as well.

Besides, Obama has no intention of nationalizing banks and believes its privatization is the way things should be (per white house press conference today)

ENEMY = People who took out loans they couldn't afford

To SOLVE PROBLEM = deleverage system

Stop trying to blame banks and executives and "Wall Street" for people's lack of judgement. If nobody would have taken the bad loans then this problem would not exist.

Sometimes I don't get people. If their house would have kept appreciating and they made some money on the sale it would have been because THEY MADE A SMART INVESTMENT DECISION, but when it goes wrong it s because SOMEBODY ELSE MADE THEM MAKE A BAD INVESTMENT DECISION. We have got to get past this victim mentality: You make a bad investment decision...it is not your fault. You eat until you are fat...it is not your fault. Your monkey kills your friend...it is not your fault.

It must be great to live in a world where people can take credit for success and blame everybody else for their failures...

Seriously, nationalizing banks? Horrible idea.

By the way, Stages, you can take your sig down...McSameOwnsU is Supdog...always has been, always will be. He has been posting in this very forum. So, he hasn't disappeared...he was merely able to log in as Supdog again.
