Head in sand land, ah well when there is nothing left…

The difficulty is that unless and until people realise just how incompetent the people who have been running the show are we are not likely to see genuine action. Lunatic as it may seem, people still can’t get their heads around the fact that the economic miracle brought to us by Wall Street, and replicated around the world, was nothing more than a Ponzi fraud, and now that the game has folded there isn’t a pot of gold sitting waiting to be found.
We really have beggared ourselves for the benefit of a small number of people who made vast sums of money at our expense, and yet the media still writes stories about how we mustn’t lose our expert financiers by expecting them to pay some tax….

The fat cats are the problem, they do seem to see any injection of cash is theirs - Lehmans laid off so many minnows, didn’t they.

But I feel the higher echelons should be removed and the banks run properly, but there is an awful lot of money going absolutely nowhere and doing no good, or so it seems

Well, Citigroup people are waiting to find out where the axe will fall, as are a fair number of other banking employees, but unless the banks get it together then it’s the nuclear option.
It’s possible the EU package may do some good…

Bankers seem to be keeping their jobs, but its not the same in High Street Anytown where businesses can’t get loans to keep going because the banks won’t make any advances, and people are being made homeless as an end result.
Perhaps the money being poured like syrup needs another pudding?

I think the evil days have arrived, and it’s an exercise in damage limitation; whether it works or not is another matter. But trying to keep people in jobs seems more sensible than not, as well as more civilised than not.
And let’s not forget that the Treasury has had to admit that they did the sums wrong on the spirits’ duty, and has reworked them; otherwise whisky would have gone up by 29 pence a bottle. There are some sacrifices too big to make…

Think they just seem to be postponing the arrival of the evil day, perhaps sometime in January 09?

Not so much of a cure-all as a ‘nobody can think of a better idea’.

The US has announced it’s spending $7 trillion in the hope of softening the recession, and if that doesn’t cheer you up, Rupert Murdoch’s shares in News International have dropped from $7 billion to $3 billion…

Same cure-all as here ?
