why would the entire country collapse if B of A and Citi are taken over? They’ve already been nationalized, but the public only shares in the losses. I didnt agree with giving them money, but since we did, why should they be profiting privately? no private money is flowing into them.

I think you’re using false slippery slope argument which, by the way, assumes that we aren’t going to collapse regardless.

Funny how everyone thinks they know everything, nationalization wont solve anything except cause even more bankruptcies between private investors and large corporations… The market needs to heal itself and it needs time to do that, stop whining and wishing for the collapse of the entire country.

Great suggestion about taking the business private.

May I suggest a guillotine for whiners like this Lewis idiot? Or, if that’s to quick, tar and feathers followed by a rope?

Lewis! Shut up!

Nationalization is a dumb idea and it is absurd. If the government leaves theses banks alone with the money they currently have they will survive. Citi Bank is the most capitalized bank right now (thanks to the tax payer) BUT They don’t need more and they don’t want more. They promised to become profitable and pay it back but everybody should relax. TARP funds are just settling in give these guys at least a year to make a profit. Its been less then 4 months since Citi got any loans you can’t expect them to day trade these loans and pay it back today. It doesn’t work like that. The shorts have created rumors and once again the SEC wont put a stop to it and the treasury wont stop it. We will see a massive rally on the upside when things clear up.
