It should have been allowed to happen in 2008...Of course, many other quasi-state run institutions should have met a similar fate. What you've outlined above would go a long ways towards reducing the head count at these universities that have become bloated pigs...building extensive athletic...

Essentially it would just be another pass thru of ZIRP since the main impetus for playing loose and fast with customer assets was to make up for all of the lost interest income over the past 2-3 years.

I think it's been something of a small miracle that Sears has made it this long. So many of their competitors (not even counting the internet), sell their products at better prices, have a better selection, more modern stores, etc, etc... Sears probably should have gone the way of Circuit...

[bump] I nominate for best thread title of the year. There couldn't possibly be a more deserving asshole than our resident atheist, liberal troll. Congrats, Max E Pad.

I think that I'll make it a New Year's Resolution to stop arguing with the Pro-QE nutcase contingent around here. It's like arguing about the merits of ponzi schemes. F' it, not worth the hassle.

That was pretty good. :D

Exactly.

Satire? If not, then you'd better cut the ties between government and TBTF corporations before you consider this experiment. Backstopping failure is a big part of why we are in this mess to begin with.

Everyone here knows your little agenda. So cut out the bullshit. You'd much rather have Obama, instead of Ron Paul, we get that already. I'm sure you are a big fan of Bill Kristol, Richard Perle and the long list on Neo-Cons who abhor Ron Paul.

Prohibition is another good case study...Joe Kennedy and the "Irish" mob played a big part obviously.

You took the "words" right out of my mouth. I had a black basketball coach one time who would insert "behoove" into literally every sentence. Didn't matter if it was used in the proper context, he was just deeply insecure around a bunch of bright white kids.

I'm sure that you and your neo-con buddies are hoping and praying that it's true.

There you go again with your pseudo-intellectual bullshit.

Racism this, racism that...Reminds me of the boy who cried wolf.

Nicely put. Free Thinker back to his usual trolling and assorted bullshit.

This has become the de-facto way of doing business nowadays. The NFL, NBA, debt ceiling, Eurozone crisis, etc, etc...It's all about playing up the "doomsday scenario", letting things fester for a few days or weeks and at the last minute coming up with the much awaited and overhyped "compromise".

Then you weren't paying attention 4 years ago.

So what, why is it impossible for anybody around here to debate the message instead of constantly shooting the messenger? That article was one of the few that I've read discussing the exposure of US MM Funds to Eurozone toxic debt. Granted, it's more than likely out of date, but I applaud...

But you still support Ron Paul right? Or is that only on the days when your nurse friend helps you out with some Thorazine?

One thread wasn't enough for you today? We're on page three of the other thread, why not make your contribution there?
