Comments on: Republicans try to save economy by kicking it in the nuts http://anotherdamnblog.com/index.php/republicans-try-to-save-economy-by-kicking-it-in-the-nuts/ Because the world needed one more Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:39:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Marie Pierson http://anotherdamnblog.com/index.php/republicans-try-to-save-economy-by-kicking-it-in-the-nuts/#comment-812 Marie Pierson Tue, 09 Aug 2011 12:00:03 +0000 http://anotherdamnblog.com/?p=294#comment-812 Throughout the awesome pattern of things you'll get a B- with regard to effort. Where you lost us was on the particulars. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more correct here. Having said that, let me reveal to you what did work. Your text can be incredibly convincing which is most likely the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can certainly see a leaps in logic you make, I am not convinced of how you appear to unite the details which in turn produce the actual conclusion. For the moment I shall yield to your position but hope in the near future you link the dots better. Throughout the awesome pattern of things you’ll get a B- with regard to effort.

"Won't someone please think of the children!"

And there is many more. This goes way beyond banking. When public companies make money, be it on phony energy trading or shitty mortgages, shareholders don't want to know how. They just want to know that the stock they purchased yesterday is worth more today. When shit hits the fan, the records are shredded and execs vanish, that's when people ask: "What the hell happened." We'll never know the true extent of corporate fraud because corporations have their hands in the politicians pants. And vice versa. Until that changes, we'll always have these messes to deal with. Unfortunately, the finance industry is so far reaching that the lack of controls has a devastating effect on the broader market. If credit remains frozen for any length of time, the global economy will freak. Enron
WorldCom
Lehman Bros.

If they aren't hurting you and they aren't hurting anyone else, leave them the heck alone. 2 - If you were stupid enough to over-mortgage yourself or take an interest only loan to get yourself into a house that you totally knew you couldn't afford, only to find out a couple years later that you couldn't afford it, shame on you. I'm sorry that you might lose your house/car/etc. but I certainly shouldn't have to bail your stupid ass out. 3 - The banks need help. However, before we start using the taxpayers for the bailout, all of those bank and company execs should have to file bankrupty so that we can use their assets to fund the bail-out. I don't care who you are, but no one deserves a half million dollar bonus each year while the business is going down the toilet. Shareholders, execs, owners FIRST. Then you can knock on my door. 4 - Once the gov't figures out how to handle it, policies need to be put in place so there is a check to our human nature of greediness.

I am supportive of a government solution to this situation because it is the only way that I can support a resolution to this problem. This situation is affecting everyone, including those that pay their bills. Unfortunately, we don't have the capital to rectify the situation. The best we can do is support a government who can help out.

But when their stupidity/corruption starts to bleed over into Average Joes well-being... measures have to be taken. And unfortunately they won't let us euthanize. Side note, I think capping the golden parachutes is only a start. They should really be prosecuting! @Antigrammatik
