Agreed, there has to be accountability even for
the banks for poor financial decisions.

GTO,

You are famous for being on the verge of something... who to blame... who to cut down... who is a fool...

Adler had a good program on conspiracy theories... US folks much more open to them... and so Canadians ususally pick up US stuff.

Have fun GTO... I am sure you are laughing at us again!!!

Greece is interesting along with the other pigs-
portugal,italy,spain-but so many questions when
tied into the euro equations.

No doubt its going down the toilet,but how and
what the crash looks like will be interesting.

At this point in time asia,canada,austrailia,norway
finland sweden russia,south america may escape
the fiscal judgment day,imo,and i hope but who
knows.

The mother of all financial safety instruments-
gold-cant or wont correct,which sucks.

its time a country went bust, greece will be first. stop paying all the bloated civil servant pensions etc.
total chaos will result.

So how does this info prove that we are on the
verge of a great depression?

[sjc]

The depression happens if the World bamk stops using US dollars as its reserve currency. Essentially the effect of that would be that the US can no longer print money to pay off its debts and essentially goes bankrupt as there is no way it coudl even pay off interest on the debts it has let alone principal. It is said that China holds a lot of US debt and they have invested that money into hard assets (oil companies, buildings, land) because if the US dollar is lost so will the debt. If they have hard assets at least they have something.

I know this is not Greece but everything is linked now in the world. If this was to happen (US dollar no longer reserve currency) imagine what the impact woudl be on the world?

Scary stuff

Based on the rest of your posts have you tried Prozac for your depression?

[jensend]

i'm not depressed. it's less stressful if you don't try to fool yourself. with everybody talking another recession it just validates what i've been saying for the last couple of years. nothing has been fixed.

Bernanke & Geitner are still in charge. I guess
America likes the direction they are going.

[sumdumguy]

China was fueling the gold and silver market, but
seem to have cooled their jets lately. Seems like
the solution would naturally be to borrow all the
American dollars you could to buy hard assets
with the hope that the dollar will tank and you
would pay it back with cheap dollars, cotton,
where are you?
