Mark,
Refer to post number 11. You will find the answer to your question there.

Now I have a question for you. Did you know there are sources for news other than FOX?

While all this chatter is fun, the original post is the actual topic! Can we stick with it please, or would you rather derail the thread so the original topic does not have to be dealt with?

I think it was something to do with drugs for curing socialism being unavailable in some countries.

"The proposed resolution authority would allow the government to provide financial assistance to make loans to an institution, purchase its obligations or assets, assume or guarantee its liabilities and purchase an equity interest," he said.

I don't see the word "seize" anywhere in the proposal. FOX news likes to hyperbole things up, as any good yellow-journalist knows you should, but...yeah, nothing about seizing.

Until I see some kind of hard evidence that the government plans to nationalize innocent businesses, and not just editorializing from a CLEARLY biased source, shrieks of "evil socialist nightmare" seem a bit premature to me.

Now, as to whether the US government should be using tax dollars to prop up enormous institutions whose failure might jeopardize the US economy as a whole, well, that's a whole other complicated barrel of monkey worms.

I turned to topic..... sorry! Back to topic then:

So, this whole idea of assuming the banks is because if the senate were to pass a bill on taxing the bonuses it would affect the subsidiaries of the larger banks that took the bailout moneys, even if they, the subsidiaries, did not take the money.

The stinker to this new move is that all the moneys that have been privately invested in these banks will be worth "nothing". It's like they are throwing darts at failed idea and shouting out the score or next big idea for the economy.... the stock market jumps and they yell, then falls, and they throw another dart.

What say you all?
