    So true. Banks will now become useless. Or Political money machines.

    Well they certainly didn’t work out well when they were private…

    This is a joke alright, but I still remember, how we got that ..-. ..- -.-. -.- .. -. –. Lampinen in return of bloody 50bn of pankkituki and that was supposed to be for real.

    “So true. Banks will now become useless. Or Political money machines.”

    Will become useless political money machines? And what have they been so far?

    So, how’s your bank portfolio?

  • Winter (Go Protons, Cancer in remission, will soon be removed from “Dead Man Walking” video.)

    Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opened her first extended talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov by giving him a present meant to symbolize the Obama administration’s vow to “press the reset button” on U.S.-Russia relations.

    She handed a palm-sized box wrapped with a bow. Lavrov opened it and pulled out the gift: a red button on a black base with a Russian word peregruzka printed on top.

    “We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” Clinton asked.

    “You got it wrong,” Lavrov said.

    Instead of “reset,” Lavrov said the word on the box meant “overcharge.”

    The USA is in the very best of hands.

    Its Chairman Obama

    Comrade Pelosi

    please

  • Drakon

    Yep, the nationalization of Citibank will be an outright disaster, especially when we consider how stellarly the company has been managed thus far…

    Parts of Citibank are doing well. The parts the government forced to make sub prime loans… well we all know the ending when Government makes mandates.

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    Oh yeah, the latest Republican meme is how the evil government FORCED those poor banks to give subprime loans. (The record profits and resulting big bonu$e$ had nothing to do with it whatsoever)

    But still, I am glad to be able to agree with the Republicans on at least one thing in a long, long time: just let them crash and burn. If the market is unable to rebuild the financial sector, then the central banks should start lending.
