I still like the idea of the zero coupon bonds proposed above by the dude Reynolds. I guess it works out to be about the same if everyone cashed in on the bonds. -Tbird Would this proposed solution, would the money be given to consumers via a check like the one bush sent out?

There is a principle of wealth called "exchange".. If no one "exchanges" then there is no wealth created.. So, if the government "bails out" the banks, or the auto industry, or whatever industry has the most infuential lobby, then the US Lawmakers OBVIOUSLY don't understand the above principle of wealth creation.. If you think about it... due to CONSTANT bombardment by the media (and we all know who controls the media) the US CONSUMER (key word consumer) will spend, if he has money to spend.. He will even spend when he doesn't have the money to spend.. He just SPENDS!! So, if the GOV would instead of giving the money to the banks, or Auto Cos, and instead "give" the money to the consumer instead, the consumer would then "exchange" with whatever vendor he chooses.. The vendor will then "exchange" with his suppliers and distributors by purchasing more, or paying off existing debts with that supplier.. The supplier will then "exchange" with the manufacturer, and the manufacturer will then exchange with his workers and creditors.. With this method of "giving" the GOV would be in essence "taking care of" the toxic assets (whatever THEY are) because the money would be going to the consumer who would then pay down his ARM, or OPTION'd mortgage, as would everyone else in the supply chain.. It would also keep more people working, and help the employment numbers.. It's the same dollars, and the taxpayer is either going to pay it thru higher taxes or higher inflation anyway, so why not help EVERYONE rather than just help "the brothers" in the banks and powerful lobby groups. Just a thought from Some Guy... It is obvious that the people in power don’t really have a clue about wealth principles..

There is a principle of wealth called “exchange”..

If no one “exchanges” then there is no wealth created..

So, if the government “bails out” the banks, or the auto industry, or whatever industry has the most infuential lobby, then the US Lawmakers OBVIOUSLY don’t understand the above principle of wealth creation..
