I Think I Figured It Out: What the Bailout *Really* Means
Posted by: Chris Williamson in Social Commentary, Big BrotherOk, for the past few months I have surfed what must be thousands of financial news and information websites.
I tracked, cross-referenced, and followed every trail of breadcrumbs I could to find out what is at the heart of the so-called ‘crisis’.
The financial companies made a bad bet. Of course, if you ask me, betting on paper is bad. These companies DON’T produce any true value or wealth so the value is a figment of people’s imaginations.
Well, what about the recent shock doctrine they are using to railroad the legislature into bailing them out?
Basically, it’s a hold up. Instead of “If you don’t give us the bailout money, the economy will fail”, they should just tell the truth: “If you don’t give us this money, we’re going to make YOUR economy fail.”
I tracked it all through a hundred news articles and it all led to THIS ONE NEWS REPORT. The main point states:
“There’s plenty of liquidity in the system. The problem is no one is lending to one another, and that’s fear, basically. Until we implement policies to reduce and eliminate fear, the fear problem is going to grow and there will be more bank failures and other failures,” Wang said. “There is no end in sight for this crisis until the psychology has been changed.”
“THERE’S PLENTY OF LIQUIDITY IN THE SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM IS NO ONE IS LENDING TO ONE ANOTHER…….
…….AND THAT’S FEAR, BASICALLY.”
Yeah…right!! Who’s to say these institutions aren’t holding this credit FOR RANSOM!!!!
“THERE IS PLENTY OF LIQUIDITY IN THE SYSTEM.”
Fear isn’t used to control the powerful…it’s used to control the poor!
Maybe we should be calling and writing our legislators demanding that they enact a law demanding these banks to extend credit or we’ll vote ‘em out. How ’bout that for fear tactics!
These institutions should die. That’s how the free market works…bad ideas fail and good ideas make it stronger. Letting the markets work as they should is putting our trust into the natural evolution of society.
That’s all I’m gonna say for now. I hope that you find these ideas stimulating. If you have any more information or clues…PLEASE COMMENT! I look forward to hearing from my readers about this. I’m sure you’re an intelligent bunch!
