Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, UBS, HSBC, etc. are all demanding that the US buy up their worthless mortgage-backed securities as part of the bailout.
All the more reason to just say no.
At the very least, restrict it to buying ONLY mortgages and ONLY from US companies.
I'm well aware that our US debt will be called as soon as we make that move, but what of it? It can not be paid and all have known it for decades. Let them call the debt and then squirm because there is no check in the mail.
