Comon, #1 we are not out of the recession. It's a joke to say the Dow at 8,000 suddenly means the bailouts have worked. #2 Can you save the banking system without raping the taxpayer? The answer is yes, as examples like Sweden have shown. Every day someone else comes on the air telling of a...

Let "foreign" companies hire them and "prosper". H1-Bs are not about the best talent, they are about the best bang for your buck. The better your margins look, the more money you get as a bonus. The computer industry is as short sighted as the finance industry, governed by self-serving managers...

I know, it doesn't make sense. Another way of putting it is that out of their whole balance sheet, they only have 164bln in cash or level 1 assets. :D

HAHA, oh wait, it was only the politicians (and Gordon Brown as finance minister since 1997) who got them into this mess, not the people. Well the people are responsible too, man the british are weak, even weaker than the americans. IMF loan, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. Get a freaking clue, soon you...

Nice, he got on Alex Jones. I keep waiting for Paul Krugman to show up too. Alex might have not had a lot of fans a few years ago, but we've come to the point where if you want to get the truth out, you need to go on fringe radio shows like his. His business is actually getting amazing growth...

Competition will be good in a way for America, because it will light a fire in politician's asses. At the same time, they seem to embark on a policy of de-industrialization for the US landscape and that can only be a road to the poorhouse. I've thought it for a long time now, the countries...

200k is not middle class. And yes China could save us, but why do it? The stimulus in the US will hurt the US but it will reboot the rest of the world, since the US imports far more than it exports. Why help?

Get your head out of your ass, it's a 1 party system. Republicans and Democrats are both funded by banks, multi-nationals, they don't care about any of the 300 million americans. They are a pure PR show. STOP voting for either of them, stop identifying with either of them.

Really nice cartoon! Question is, who had the incentive to do that cartoon? Adding Stalin in there is a little bit too smart of the average plebe.

No laws? Corrupt politicians?

Obama isn't protecting the bank CEOs on any high moral ground, those CEOs are who funded his campaign and gave him his presidency. He booted the GM CEO, he already showed he lacks any morals for the "free market", he's not booting the bank CEOs because they're all his friends. These articles...

The second you feel scared of your government it's time to kick them out of office and reshuffle the political system a bit. Obama is well past that point, a great liar.

Good stuff as always, I wish PBS would spend 100% of its resources talking about the banking crisis, haha. Here's a scoop, you and I are not part of the banking country club, we don't get to benefit from their fraud. We either do something and get them out of power, or we all suffer much worse.

The dumber the school system, the more people are going to swallow the shit from politicians and Wall Street, don't expect it to get any better. Better to educate your kids when they get home.

Are you being sarcastic? The bankers CAUSED the financial meltdown, they put their companies at risk so they could get hundred of millions. These people were never managing their companies for success, it was always about personal fortune. If you don't fire them, the message will be clear ...

This is really disgusting. Say one bank or AIG sells some of their assets at a loss to another bank. One bank books it as a profit, the other bank books it at a loss and then receives more bailout money. So really all that's happening is assets are being shifted from bank to bank, no real...

Something that I find people wrestle with all the time, especially in difficult subjects like economics is their need to simplify everything. The 3 things needed to get out of the recession, the 10 step plan, the 1 thing you need to do to attract women etc Economics is complex, you need both...

The bad rap about unions isn't fair. Actually reading your plans half of them are already in the economy, besides more efficient taxation, you don't propose anything that new. Anyway, going back to unions, some have imploded a company, true. But so have self serving managers, and so have...

They have $20 billions, it's on their balance sheet.
