And maybe that's the problem. Even economics is not an exact science. Even John Maynard Keynes was an economist, right? <br /><br />Like Rush says, I hope he fails. Actually, he already has, and that's obvious to at least half the country. A pox on Republicans that stayed home rather than vote for a RINO and on those that voted Libertarian or Green. You own this shit bitches.

Two UK Banks received state bailout funds. One was RBS/Natwest where the taxpayer owns approx 83% of the business. The other is Lloyds/HBOS which is 43% and falling. Both companies are still trading as commercial banks and will gradually repay the taxpayer from profits and the sale of non-core businesses.<br /><br />The only bank that was fully nationalised was Northern Rock. The business has been split into a bad bank division which is gradually selling off it's debts and giving some repayment to the taxpayer from those sales. The good bank division was taken over and run as a high street retail operation by another commercial bank group.<br /><br />Trust a Frog to get it wrong. They still claim to have 'won' the last War and to have liberated Europe with the D Day landings.<br /><br />Ivan Winters<br />British and proudAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-65791405832350115982012-12-01T06:57:14.774-08:002012-12-01T06:57:14.774-08:00It's important to understand that for Socialis...It's important to understand that for Socialist this IS working out well. To you or I a failure of loss of profit and jobs would seem to be a bad thing. But to a socialist it is what they live for; It means that we need MORE socialism to fix the problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
