Well,they wouldn't need MARTIAL LAW if they did their jobs probably and STOP messing up 300 million Americans LIVES(that's without considering MILLIONS of others worldwide).
I agree with Paul Krugman here in his article.
And Geithner needs to STOP chasing the VERY RISKY MAGIC BULLET way out,and plan A REAL BUDGET,frugally,and COMMON-SENSICALLY on the STATISTICS which show more leanings toward CHAPTER BANKRUPTCIES,INDEPENDENT AUDITING OF ACCOUNT BOOKS,LIQUIDATE AND REFORM. AND NO COMPANY is too "Big to fail".
If it's a FAILED company(including the un"Federal" Reserve),CLEAR IT OUT!
It may be the must DRASTIC in the billionaires eyes( they want US to lose the money,not THEM).
But it is the most RATIONAL WAY for the NATION as a whole.
Do you keep your TRASH in your CLOSETS?
No you put it in the GARBAGE BIN,so it gets cleared out!
This "cash for trash" principle is COWARDLY and WEAK,and PROTECTS THE ALREADY WEALTHY FEW.
Stop filling the MILLONS of TAX-PAYERS closets with TRASH,so that a few HUNDRED TAX-EVADING INVESTOR/BANKSTERS/GANGSTERS/SHYSTERS can KEEP THEIR BONUSES AND CASH.
Privatising the PROFIT,and NATIONALISING the debt is CROOKED,through and through.
Try it the OTHER way round!
There is ANOTHER WAY of looking at that phrase too.
"WE THE PEOPLE",are being made to pay CASH in obnoxious amounts (which we already don't have)FOR TRASHY,crooked corporate business people,who are also embedded in our Government and keep holding OUR NEW President to ransom,for PAVING HIS BUCK LADEN 'yellow brick road' to the Oval Office!
And they WONDER why the "natives" are getting restless?
It's because these old-magic-comfy-way dinosaurs:
Geithner,Summers,Bernanke,Rubin,Kashkari,Greenspan,Paulson et al,are LOOTING THE NATION OF TRILLIONS!
And that's not INCLUDING the damn bonuses,that they keep trying to DISTRACT us with!
The "TRASH" is either on Wall Street in HIGH RISK hedge-funds,derivatives and bundled assets/mortgages.
Or it's sitting around the boardroom table of the Reserve and Treasury looking for a way to SAVE THEIR A**ES,and bury OURS!
EITHER WAY they are going to make sure its OUR CASH that's SPENT!
