It totally backs up out opinions on giving the money to the banks. I don't blame the banks for what they are doing, because they are trying to survive...just like zombies try to survive by killin people...here is the link<BR/><BR/>http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100762999<BR/><BR/>The only thing I disagree with is the conclusion that supports MORE government involvement instead of less. If the government would have been less eager to get involved, this whole problem would have naturally corrected a long time ago. I think so, at least, but that reveals my philosophical view about government more so than the reality of the situation, but anyway. If you missed it, it is a great listen.cadh 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16229405846825667683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28353717.post-24555060972713601832009-02-15T23:20:00.000-05:002009-02-15T23:20:00.000-05:00Good post.

Investing in labor is a good and important thing and can be done while tthe governement maintains its purpose...doing for the people what the private sector can't. That is, the government already provides for infrastructure, so they can simple engage in already planned projects. There is no need to step into the realm covered by private sector business. So that is a good thing.<BR/>However, as you mentioned, the bailout package does not do only what you recommend. It steps beyond into so many other areas that it could make ones head spin! And Marx' slope is a bit slippery, no matter how well intentioned...<BR/><BR/>But the point is, right now, jobs are the key!!cadh 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16229405846825667683noreply@blogger.com
