No I do not advocate the nationalization of banks. I advocate the TARP money being used to for what it was supposed to be used for: open the lines of credit for businesses so that they can operate, expand, and hire people. We have a $150 million dollar line of credit in our seismic company and it is still in question. Without it, we wither and begin to lay people off.
Yes, I understand the need for credit markets to flow. However, if the money does not exist in a free market, it is not the responsibility of the government to make the markets work.
Otherwise, it is no longer a free market.
