Yep America is addicted and I figured out awhile ago what was going on. If the banks fail this country and many others will descend into near anarchy. (I don't think the average US citizen has the ability to descend into complete anarchy immediately). So, short term, they (the banks)need some propping up. What's pathetic is that big business manipulation of govt (I'm referring to them as separate entities thus far)has grown so blatant that the average american citizen knows that something is going on. Beginning with the parading in of the village 'tard (no offense to down syndrome) and giving him "control" just so they can have a scapegoat (I'm talking about Bush). He gets convinced to create a war in an oil producing country to allow the increased price pressure on the commodity to further make him and his buddies (the Saudi's) rich. Financing the war is easy; just borrow money from China. Another example: the subprime crisis. Even the average american realizes that something's up. The media's blaming Bush. (Don't get me wrong, I detest him, but he is an idiot and completely incapable of the subtleties required for this level of subterfuge) There is no way that the people in charge were not getting a nice palm greasing in order to allow people who cannot pay off their 1000$ credit cards to buy 200,000$ homes. I think that the people who are making off like bandits right now are the ones who are setting a lot of this up. JP Morgan for one. They just acquired a large competitor and a huge bank for pennies. With gov't blessing... and help. Another problem is the social security issue. Who the hell told congress it was OK to "borrow" all of the money, replace it with IOU's and then claim that the system was broken? Who's in charge of that? I have a solution: Honest hard work 1. Stop Iraq war- That'll save the US a few billion 2. Invert the budget proposal from military focused to education focused. 3. Legalize marijuana and some of the other less deleterious drugs. No.... I don't use it anymore. Make it legal, make it legal to grow and sell. Tax the hell out of the selling. Use the taxes to combat the illegal drugs. 4. As stated above, create infrastructure. In reference to the Alt E bubble. I suggest going to "nextenergynews.com" and searching in the "free energy" section for magnetic drive engines. We have the ability, and have had for awhile, to create free energy. If that seems to far fetched, we can at least agree that a 12 mile per gallon SUV Hybrid is unlikely to be the best effort we can muster. 5. Fix the social security problems. a)payback the money stolen b) stop paying people who just don't want to work, especially to have kids 6. I'm a doctor and I've seen the health care problems. The biggest one is the fact that every time medicare wants to cut costs it decreases doctor compensation. There are doctors who make as much as teachers. Not much incentive to become a doctor with 400,000 in educational debt and 90 hour work weeks. The culprits: the insurance companies. I can go on this one for hours. Monetarily, however, we need to stop giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants and those unable to pay at all. This is how the medical crisis is going. Sick people come to the US illegally to get treated for cancers and such because they know that they can do it for free. People who just refuse to pay for medical care do the same. Hospitals HAVE to treat them. There is no option. There are laws forcing them to. It doesn't sound like a big issue until people realize that healthcare debt is in the hundreds of billions. It isn't that I have no empathy. Everyone deserves to be healthy, fed, watered, and loved. But farmers don't hand out free food, clean water costs 30 bucks a month, and hookers don't hand it out for free. So why are doctors making less money while the insurance companies are making off like bandits? If you take all of the fixes above. We will be prosperous again.

What’s pathetic is that big business manipulation of govt (I’m referring to them as separate entities thus far)has grown so blatant that the average american citizen knows that something is going on. Beginning with the parading in of the village ‘tard (no offense to down syndrome) and giving him “control” just so they can have a scapegoat (I’m talking about Bush). He gets convinced to create a war in an oil producing country to allow the increased price pressure on the commodity to further make him and his buddies (the Saudi’s) rich. Financing the war is easy; just borrow money from China.

Another example: the subprime crisis. Even the average american realizes that something’s up. The media’s blaming Bush. (Don’t get me wrong, I detest him, but he is an idiot and completely incapable of the subtleties required for this level of subterfuge)

At some level of inflation, you want to invest your money in real things: gold, real estate, industry. Anything but money, which is just paper. The trick is not to invest too soon (would you buy real estate today?), and to invest in the right things. Gold has been confiscated in the past. Real estate involves property taxes. The wrong industries go out of business in the bad economy. Another asset class to consider is weapons... I’ve wondered about this for a while.

Before everything is said and done, the bill will be more like 7 trillion dollars. And even at that amount there is no assurance that any of this will work. So, my solution would be to let the big banks fail, take the 700 billion dollars and invest them in infrastructure, which is horribly delapidated, and put many people back to work. At least we will get something for our money, and create the foundation for a sound economic base from which future growth can take off again. I also would reverse all of the bailouts that have occurred to date, which, of course, would spell the end of the US dollar's status as the reserve currency of the world and it would drastically cut future imports since we would enter into a barter system: we delivery grains in exchange for vital raw materials we cannot produce ourselves.Foreign nations that have bought this tainted paper will have to take the loss. These steps will force us to recreate our manufacturing base, albeit on a much smaller scale; it will reduce our living standard, and, hopefully, force our government to eliminate our massive foreign entanglements. Yes, the pain would be enormous but at least Wall Street would be forced to learn its lessons. By being bailed out again and again, it will never learn from its mistakes. Wall Street will only repeat them on a much grander scale as you so aptly describe in your article. Hello Justice:
