The Drudge headline says:
OBAMA MOVES TOWARD 'SWEDISH MODEL' FOR BANK BAILOUT
To: SeekAndFind
In the big plan, the government is working to dilute the appraisal guidelines by allowing broker opinions and even tax assessment values as the underlying documentation for the collateral value.
.... Yep, true skinny! Lessons never learned!

Lindsey Graham is an idiot.
To: indylindy
Scum is on both sides of the aisle. Now, do the sheeple understand it yet, that it is us against the government we have now? W started it with his "new tone in Washington."

Lindsey Graham reminds me of the character "Phil Knight" on Kath & Kim. He's gay - he just doesn't know it.
Does Lindsey drive a miata?

From the FT article:
The time for biting the bullet may be fast approaching. In early April, big institutions publish their first-quarter results. If Treasury stress tests have not yet revealed the true state of their balance sheets, first-quarter results might do so.
The first week in April thats when the childrens party is over, says Chris Whalen, co-founder of Institutional Risk Analytics. That is when the obvious will become apparent.
Unfortunately, the Kenyan Manchild will remain in office for at least 3+ years.

With McCain you would lose it ever so slightly less quickly but the overall trend would still be over the cliff.

If McCain comes out for the nationalization of banks Sarah Palin needs to come out against it. That will be her final break with McCain and henceforth she will be her own woman.

When you 60m voters voted for McCain did you vote for the nationalization of banks?
Or did you vote for Palin and the free enterprise system, low taxes and to uphold individual rights.

Does anyone here who voted for Graham rather than the Ron Paul Democrat who opposed him still want to defend their decision?

I find this inconceivable. To think a member of the GOP would think a governmental takeover of the banks is acceptable is truly hard to believe.
To: Old Sarge
I can dream.... and dream...Of course! LOL

Nationalizing large banks would be the end of capitalism and freedom. Just this talk about it discourages prudent investors from buying any stocks. If it actually happened, capital would leave the United States looking for free markets. This country would be in a depression worse than the 1930’s.
Obama’s approach so far has been to punish business and increase socialism. This is the same approach taken by FDR, resulting in the depression lasting a decade. Economic conditions actually got worse under Roosevelt, and the country didn’t recover until military spending for WW II “bailed” us out.
