The FED created a mess. How much more evidence do you need? You want to give the FED credit???? Have you been sleeping under a rock for the past year?

Exactly, so why should the banks receive a bailout? Once again, my original argument, which everyone on this thread has taken out of context (with your mechanical reactions) is a relative one.........bailout for the banks vs. homeowners. Focus people, focus

LOL It happens all the time. Study your history books (not the ones supplied by the govt though). Man is a machine, mechanical and full of hindsight. Foresight belongs to the few, those who are awake. The powers that be have always struggled for control. I am sorry to break the news to you...

The same effect? Once again, the banks have used the bailout funds to sure up their balance sheets. How has that helped homeowners? Coerced, yes, but I wouldn't use the analogy of putting a gun to people's heads. Their tactics are much more sly. I was making an argument in relative terms...

Suspending foreclosures until both parties agree on more appropriate terms would've been a much more fair alternative to just giving banks money to sure up their balance sheet. You can't fully blame the uneducated homeowners who were coerced and encouraged to participate in the orgy of...

According to what figures? According to who?

According to what figures? Certainly not these.... http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h6/hist/h6hist1.txt That is only partly true. Jim Rogers can convert USD's into anything, HKD's, the AUD, or some tangible asset. It is difficult to not be "trading" the dollar anywhere around the world...

"Capitalism" and/or free markets are an absolute ideology. Printing money isn't a part of that ideology. Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter, what matters is the theft of money, or time, which is the principle of exchange, a principle still not understood in our "educated," or...

There are different types of inflation, depending on the stage of the business cycle we are in. "...cash-induced changes in purchasing power do not affect the prices of the various commodities and services a the same time and to the same extent.." Ludwig von Mises The term INFLATION...

actually, everyone around the world pays for our govt.'s manipulation of the (world's) currency, i.e. our largest export, the u.s. dollar

So the rumor was well substantiated

CHICAGO, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Examiners with the Federal Reserve have questioned Wall Street counterparties in recent days about their exposure to debt and other holdings of Citadel Investment Group, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday. The report came a day after Citadel, one of the...

Ron Paul has my vote too This is financial genocide and those involved should be punished accordlingly. We should create a prison for crooks like Greenspam. There is no accountability left in this world. Bring on the next root race.

I have no access to an indicator of this caliber. Your continued feedback will be appreciated:D

WOW Still brushing up on that macro econ theory?

you are misquoting him

How can they be "legally" owed the money? IMHO any so-called legality surrounding this issue should be thrown out the window. Of course that won't happen. Why would thieves (money printers) give back the money they stole from the slaves, i mean taxpayer? Please excuse my ignorance:(

couldn't agree more an instant classic

The govt. continues to show their hand, and it isn't pretty. Think about it in that context. Surely this is a mess and will continue to be. First it was the FED stepping in to buy troubled assets, then it was the Treasury backing banks to provide short-term loans, then longer term loans...

thx for the article, can you post all of it here? Just goes to show you how monumental this drop was/is. This aint your daddy's bear mkt. And grandpa isn't alive to remind you how bad it was during the depression. Coincidental?
