quade 4 #1 March 5, 2009 GREAT episode that explains in simple terms a lot of stuff about the current bank crisis; what the nature of banks are, how they current crisis got to the point it did, what kinda of plans bankers want to fix it, why banks loaning money right now might not be the right answer . . . If you're confused about any part of what's going on right now or even if you THINK you know all there is to know, still give it a listen. Trust me, it's worth the time. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1285quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gene03 0 #3 March 5, 2009 Howdy Quade. There is this option also. http://www.webofdebt.com/articles/state_bank_option.php I doubt most state legislators would have the balls to do it.“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

What I feel is important about the piece is that after listening to it at least you have a better understanding of all the terms being tossed about and the ramifications of the various proposed solutions.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
