Unfortunately, like all politicians they did not understand that politics and profit margins are as different as the North and South pole. As such rather than eat their humble pie by taking the loss, they put it under the bed of nationalisation. However that is not the end of the story: The rats are coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-11380703707907174652008-02-18T18:08:00.000+00:002008-02-18T18:08:00.000+00:00Bleak and Math argument is WRONG.FIRST we will nat...Bleak and Math argument is WRONG.<BR/><BR/>FIRST we will nationalize the bond insurance companies like MBIA and AMBAC.

They used to hover for decades over poor countries' governments yelling at them and telling them "get your dirty hands off of the economy and let market forces play their way through." I don't see them anymore. They seem to have gone into hiding under their rocks, leaving Bush and Brown doing away with people's money to salvage their corporate benefactors.<BR/>Remember, it was nationalization that got Iran's PM Mosaddaq killed, and it was nationalization that got Egypt's Nasser into trouble with the West, and the same thing seems to be happening to Venezuela's Chavez. But, curiously, nothing is being done to stop Bush and Brown.<BR/>It's worth mentioning also that Chavez, Nasser and Mosaddaq were at least trying to recover their national assets from foreign dominance, whereas Bush and Brown are embezzling money from law-abiding taxpayers to fill the pockets of their corporate handlers.<BR/>MAXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-58861809451386874582008-02-18T13:38:00.000+00:002008-02-18T13:38:00.000+00:00"Suzanne researched this!"-Century 21 television c...<I>"Suzanne researched this!"</I><BR/>-Century 21 television commercial, 2006<BR/><BR/><I>"Our financial adviser Goldman Sachs has concluded"</I><BR/>-Alistair Maclean Darling, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, 2008Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-88828262280540293802008-02-18T12:55:00.000+00:002008-02-18T12:55:00.000+00:00Just wait for Fannie's and Freddie's turns.
