here the solution. ... ( 1 month ago by naplesreign)
here the solution. Reset the Banking system, which inevitable failed and eventually end this world of capitalism . Scrap interest existing and future for start. Usury has always been fordidden throughout history so should be abolished. the exasperate need for consumption of any goods in particular oil gas and any form of non renewable energy should decrease significantly. Finally governments should invest without the need of borrowing from federal banks in renewable and echo friendly energy.

I am strongly against your stupidity but I will give you a better solution than your 'death lottery' nonsense: In any life system there's an upper limit based on technology (animals hunting each other counts as technology), supply, and demand (and other factors not relevant to my point). Basically there's an upper limit to how many people can be supported by a system. If there are more people than the limit, they die. So there's your death lottery. Voila.

Al-Qaedas head Osama Bin Laden votes for McCain to win the US Presidential elections. He expressed his views on a local TV while giving a glimpse of the book hes writing on Al-Qaedas struggle. He declared Bush govt a source of their global publicity though in a negative style. Even then he favored McCain over Obama to win the US elections
Bush policies to carry on. For that would enable him
his group to destroy US economy more easily
destroy the status of USA as a so called super power.

WRONG. Big joke on Wall St cited by Michael Hudson is that poor people DO pay debts, out of honor.
Super rich are too smart for that, back out of anything they can walk away from, as needed. Set up corp protection rackets.
Hence, CREDIT DERIVATIVES CRISIS. Has little do with mortgages, car loans, etc. It's TRILLIONS of unpayable debt in FICTITIOUS capital, by "leveraging" investments w/o limits.

Obviously your a fucking shill!..BINLADEN IS DEAD, AND ANY BODY THAT BELIEVES YAHOOVISITOR IS A CUNT. THE REASON THE US CURRENCY WILL COLLAPSE IS BECAUSE OF YOUR FEDERAL RESERVE (YOU FUCKING LYING CUNT) YOUR COUNTRY WAS HIJACKED IN 1913 BY THE ILLEGAL FED RES, ITS NOT EVEN A US BANK...ITS FOREGIN AND IS MADE UP OF VARIOUS BANKING FAMILIES, THAT CHARGE INTEREST ON EVERY DOLLAR LOANED TO THE US GOVERNMENT, you think your debt is $10 trillion...take another look...its just over $56 trillion.

The period of 6-18 months for the people to learn the harmful basics seems a joke. As majority of US citizens is educated
aware of the economical crisis. Cheap waged laborers are due to growing global population in search of food. But creating joblessness in USA in search of cheap foreign labor is not the answer. It will burst the economy balloon being patched. The interest rates may be revised to the applicable level. But creating disharmony or joblessness doesnt solve the economical decline

I agree with you to a point, but this credit default swaps and derivatives would never come to light if the little guy paid his mortgage and did not default. 3 million homes are in default or already foreclosed on. That is close to a trillion dollars of cash taken off the table that the genuises on wall street were using to fund the scam right under our eyes.

olh1152: swaps and derivatives would never come to light if little guy paid his mortgage -- True that credit lockup started w mortgage failures. Lame excuse. Investors work on stats. Sub mortg were ACTUARIALLY bound to fail to that extent, for known reasons 1) jobs and income vanishing 2) less stable buyers 3) prices inflated by bubble 4) bubbles pop - created by credit, inevitably burst when can't be inflated more dollar val of "Derivatives" at least 2000x more than hard assets - ridiculous
Close to a trillion ... ( 2 weeks ago by dilbertgeg)
Close to a trillion in bad mortgages? Ben Stein said 1/4 Trillion, but anyhow ... Credit Default Swaps are SIXTY TRILLION. CDSs were created to contain RISK of mortgage defaults. Great! (and other credit defaults, incl corporate, consumer) But Hedge funds writing CDSs are NOT regulated NOR backstopped! They had insuff capital to cover their contracts. They were backstopped by OTHER hedge funds, which were also lacking capital. NO ONE had capital or ASSETS. Everyone had magic pixie dust.

The way Earthquake affected people afraid of their cracked walls
roofs to be falling on them are sitting under the open sky, in the chilled cold similarly the US investors afraid of collapsed economy are not investing any more in the US financial system afraid of their investments to decline in the worst way, thus making the US economy balloon burst altogether. 3:54 And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.

You are correct. It is my understanding, Medicaid and Medicare are paying out more money in 2008 than what they are taking in. This situation will only get worse with the baby boomers moving into retirement.
The only thing I can imagine that will save this entitlement is to push the retirement benefit age back to 72. This sounds harsh, but people are living longer and healthier lives. The only other alternatives are taking about 70% of a persons paycheck or bankruptcy of the system.
