<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1135179, member: 17555&quot;]&quot;.. no longer capitalism but rather socialism!&quot;&nbsp; &lt;&lt;&lt; oh my.. lol.&nbsp; you are late to the game ; )&nbsp;&nbsp; we&#039;ve been a socialist society for decades......&nbsp; welcome to the party, it just keeps on getting bigger, enjoy ; )</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>... btw,,, the &quot;fate of the nation&quot; is not dependent on the short term credit market. .... for what it&#039;s worth, local economies can be very robust,,,, local markets can keep food on the tables for extended periods of time....I have ledgers only a couple generations old noting services and goods transactions completed in &quot;chickens&quot;, etc.... I doubt we&#039;d sink to that level due to a short term vapor lock of short term credit solvency,,, but if needed, it could &amp; should be done !!......&nbsp; hell and damnation would not follow a temp collapse of the short term credit markets !!,,, ... and even if it did collapse, those bailed out companies (many of whom didn&#039;t have squat to do with short term credit) could have been replaced with healthy banks, or by new banks, pretty quickly.</p><p>The &quot;world will end&quot; sound bites your rolling are overblown and were employed to convey fear and panic to the sheeple so they didn&#039;t do what ol&#039; Ben once said,,,, &quot;..if the masses ever came to understand how the bankers conducted business with thier tax dollars the streets would be full of people with pitchforks..&quot;&nbsp; (.. or was that Hamilton?)&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; anyway, - to me it sounds like very very old money has been running the banking game for a looooong time.... and I don&#039;t expect the banking game will ever be fully understood by the sheeple, nor do I think the games rulers or it&#039;s erosive effects are ever likely to change..... but it&#039;s fun to chat about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
