No bailouts.
Arrest and prosecute, only.

Does the current bailout plan of Obama and Pelosi have provisions to bailout this foreign bank?

Do you mean the bail out plan overwhelming majority of Americans are against?

If they pass the bailout or don’t, banks are going to fail. When the country’s broke and this happens again in 6 months, what then?

A world wide depression. Think of all the buying opportunities. Then again it might get really ugly.

"B Belguim. Bush. See the correlation? Yep its his fault." Great. I thought I'd be the only one who saw that connection.
Anyway, get ready...the end is near.

You mean stop the bailout and pass a real plan.
To: frankjr
Some companies are successful, some are not. What’s the big deal? Surprisingly American taxpayers were not asked to bail out this bank too.

European bailouts arent our problem.We should not offer a solution, by that I mean $$$. Global bank failures do, however, have an impact on us.

As foreign banks go under, payrolls cannot be met and cheap foreign goods cannot be made and shipped here. No, we should not bail out these foreign banks. Maybe some of these jobs overseas will migrate back here where the situation is more stable.

Did banks in these other countries do the same things concerning mortgages that banks here did, which it is claimed caused this mess?
Or is the mortgage mess just an excuse for this “crisis”, and we are being lied to again?
