Well, shucks that's an interesting pov! I thought that *everyone*
associated the US with capitalism

I am not 'upset', any more than I am 'upset' when Putin nationalises
oil. These things happen in other peoples' countries.

What would you have me think? That bailing out the losers is capitalism???

The issue (as you would know, if you had read my comments) is that
bailouts (Greenspan printing money) got them into this mess in the first
place.

Regardless of ideology, most people with commonsense, when they see
things going badly, generally reverse course.

It just so happens that the downhill course is socialist (government
intervention), so don't you think that it's just possible, just maybe
that the opposite strategy (capitalism with minimum govt intervention)
may be what saves them?

Are you completely off the planet? The US of course!

A socialist rescue package to rescue the corporate welfare tit suckers
from 3 or 4 previous Greenspan socialist intervention packages....

Listen mate, this has SFA to do with capitalism, so I don't know why you
raised the subject. You socialists should just get on with your
intervention and see if it works out, okay?

And when you're done, let me know, as it will be time to reassess those
gold stocks.

I just happen to think that astrology is JUST AS relevant as by party.

Grow up? ROTFL. You want to support a group of socialists bailing out a
group of corporate welfare statists, be my guest. One form of
intervention is just as ineffective as another. Therefore astrology is
just as effective as either. Sorry of that was too subtle for you.
