Here’s a question for you: if our Governments can now afford to spend (and in most cases, borrow) many many billions to bailout banks who are (most of us believe) just going to do the same thing again (lend to people who can’t pay back) because the same Governments won’t pass stricter laws (has one law yet been pased?) – how come they can’t spend these billions on healthcare, better education, public transport, security, and so on, when we’re in boom times?

God it almost sounds like monopoly money these days. $700 billion here, £37 billion there, another few hundred billion over in that bank. I mean does no-one think this is getting out of hand us rescuing all these places?

Wow, 4 people, top executives in our british banks, quit because they felt it was right. I tell you, I think what’s right is criminal investigations into their practices and into those that have been short-selling and causing this mess. They’re the ones that need to go to prison and have their money confiscated!
