[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1549669, member: 2189"] What's this giving taxpayer money to the banks BS? Why is one treated as so wrong and a violation of the "free market" while the other is all but ignored and without thought considered evidence of a "free market"? If you are going to intervene in the market regardless, give the money to the troubled homeowners to pay off their homes as the banks then get the money anyway. People still have homes, bank books balance, property values may go down a touch from boom demand drop but not plummet, local govt's don't take a hit from loss of property tax revs and now with no house payment, many will have extra income each month to keep the economy going to some degree. Folks still with house payments with better economy wouldn't be as economically stressed. People stay in jobs, food stamps and unemployment funds don't take the hit, people aren't eating up savings and 401k's and the Occupy and Tea Party groups would have to find something else to do. Maybe Obama doesn't get electe........wait, that means McCain and Palin..........GAWD DAMMIT, WE'RE friend'ed EITHER WAY! ;) The problem with this country is it wants to play Statism or maybe a form of [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy'][COLOR=#ff0000][B]technocracy[/B][/COLOR][/URL] but is too friend'ing stupid to play it out in such an easy way that everyone wins. But since everyone doesn't win, maybe that sez something about the statism that is being played out? And if you want to offer that the banks do work for it, well consider this part of the work ethic picture. When the Federal Reserve System and it's member banks were granted exclusive monopoly over our monetary system, a dollar had the value of a dollar. Today it is worth something around $.03, compare the value of the dollar over time to the growth of the Federal Debt and see if a bell doesn't go off. So if one is judged on performance as a measure of work, the homeless may have an argument as it relates to value. Then again maybe that is saying something about the banks and the monetary system we have! A purely side note, a true free market would never have a monopoly central banking system in the first place but why let facts get in the way. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
